A wise person speaks because he has something to say. A fool speaks because he has to say something. A closed
mouth gathers no foot. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Buy a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime. Needing
someone is like needing a parachute. If he isn't there the first time you need him, chances are you won't be needing
him again. Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone. The rising tide lifts all
boats. Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue. The best things in
life aren't things. Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand. The real art of conversation is not
only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
Some folks are so busy falling for everything that they don't stand up for anything. Don't try to be
God. You're not qualified, and the job's already taken.
And my personal favorite:
What is hateful to you do not do to your neighbor. That is the whole Torah. The rest is commentary. -- Hillel
