    The smile does not cost anything

    But has great value!

    A Smile – enriches the receiver

    Without impoverishing the giver

    “No person needs a smile more than the person who can not smile to another person.”

    No one can do anything to help or harm you other than Hashem who is in total control.

    “1- When Jews dont make Kiddish

    The Goyim make Havdalah”

    I believe this came from R’ Chaim of Volozhin.

    When I went to Rav Shteinman my father asked for Yiddishe Nachas. Rav Shteinman turned to my father and said “Is there any other kind of Nachas.”

    music: a mench tracht un gut lacht

    another one: a mench iz a mul shtarker fun eizen un a mul shvacher fun a flieg

    i.e. a man is sometimes stronger than iron, and sometimes weaker than a fly

    and another: a ligner daf huben a gitten zikoiren i.e. a liar needs a good memory

    and finally: a smile is a curve that sets a lot of things straight

    One of my favourites from the Rambam in Hilchos Talmud Torah 3:10.

    Unfortunately somewhat out of fashion these days.

    “Anyone who decides to be engaged in Torah [study] and not to work, and will be supported by Tzedaqa – this person desecrates God’s name (Chillel es Hashem), degrades the Torah, extinguishes the light of our faith, brings evil upon himself and forfeits life in Olam haBa (The world to come); since it is forbidden to derive benefit from the words of Torah in this world. The Rabbis said (Avot 4:5): Anyone who derives benefit from the words of Torah in this world, forfeits his life in Olam haBa. They further commanded and said: (Avot 4:5) Do not make them [the words of Torah] a crown to magnify yourself or an axe with which to chop. They further commanded, saying: (Avot 1:10) Love work and despise positions of power (Rabbonus). And: (Avot 2:2) Any Torah which is not accompanied by work will eventually be nullified and will lead to sin. Ultimately, such a person will steal from others.”
