Tzedukah

Realize that the money you keep for yourself is limited in the extent to which it helps you: it cannot help you at all after you die.  But the money you give to tzedukah will save you from suffering in the afterlife. ~ The Vilna Gaon

Prosecuting Angels

No organ is as self-destructive as the mouth.  Every forbidden word creates a prosecuting angel.  In just one hour, hundreds of words of lashon hara and rechilus can be spoken.  Conversely, if a person speaks as he should, his speech will be the greatest cause of his fortune and success. ~ Chofetz Chaim

Try This!

Pray for the welfare of others even when they are not aware you are praying for them. ~ The Chofetz Chaim

Every person we meet has needs for which we can pray. Success in spiritual matters, success in financial matters, good health, a good marriage, or raising their children properly. Saying a quiet prayer for the people you meet, even complete strangers, will give you much more positive feelings towards people. You have as much to gain as the recipient of your prayer.  ~ R’ Zelig Pliskin

No Getting Out of It

One should not say “Why should I bother learning the laws of loshon hara? Instead I will just accustom myself to remain silent.  Often one is required to speak about other people.  Therefore, he must learn the laws of what may or may not be said.  ~ Chofetz Chaim
