You’re going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by.
I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict.
It is forbidden to live in a town that does not have a green garden.
It is a good practice to set apart at least one day in a year for the remembrance of one’s near and dear relatives, friends and learned people that are no more in keeping with our traditions; giving a new orientation to and infusing new life into practices that have become lifeless and meaningless to many.
A sacrifice is a gift of the essence or the product of our lives. It may be a gift of our time, a gift of our talent, or a gift of our treasure.
