A saying, a quote, a sentence, a short paragraph you read...

You know those times when you read something and it feels good?

Can you share?

It can be Jewish or not

ETA my own...

Hope y'all understand Hebrew.

היוצר
הזה אינו בודק קנקנים מרועעין
מפני שאינו מספיק להקיש
עליהן עד שהוא שוברן.

אלא
מה הוא בודק
קנקנים היפים
שאפילו מקיש עליהן
כמה פעמים אינו שוברן.
(בראשית רבא)

We're very good judges when it comes to other's actions and very good lawyers when it comes to our own actions

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift (from Hashem) that's why we call it the PRESENT.

You may think the grass is greener on the other side, but if you take the time to water your own grass it would be just as green.

It's going to be ok in the end, so if it's not ok, it's not the end yet.

When you talk you are only repeating something you know, but if you listen you may learn something new!

"A day without laughter is a day wasted"

I saw this one on a billboard & was quite inspired:
"If you are looking for a role model, be one yourself"

Its okay if you built a castle in the sky. Now just build a foundation under it.

Thanks. This is so meaningful! It really talks to me.
Mine is the Breslov song (not Breslov, but even so):

אם יהודי היה יודע כמה ה' אוהב אותו
היה שמח ורוקד 120 שנה.

Being knocked down is a given, getting back up is a choice.

this is a song. I'd post a youtube link, but I'll just post the lyrics since it's the nine days.

"I Got A Name"

Like the pine trees lining the winding road
I got a name, I got a name
Like the singing bird and the croaking toad
I got a name, I got a name
And I carry it with me like my daddy did
But I'm living the dream that he kept hid

Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by

Like the north wind whistling down the sky
I've got a song, I've got a song
Like the whippoorwill and the baby's cry
I've got a song, I've got a song
And I carry it with me and I sing it loud
If it gets me nowhere, I go there proud

Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by

And I'm gonna go there free

Like the fool I am and I'll always be
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
They can change their minds but they can't change me
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
Well, I know I can share it if you want me to
If you're going my way, I'll go with you

Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
