I am looking for short inspirational quotes or dvar Torahs…
Like a pasuk and we learn from that that HaShem is fully in control…
Or something that a speaker/Rabbi said…
Or something on Tefillah/Tehillim…
But I only want short things. Like one or two lines…
You may be the one.
I noticed in Tehilim ch. 46, It mentions three times that Hashem is our refuge, like it’s saying He is there before, during and after the situation. Always there.
Honor your father and mother so your days should be long

The past already happened, the future has yet to come, the present is like the blink of an eye, so why worry?
The day you were born is the day G-d decided that the world could not exist without you.
~Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Resistance is useless.
(loling myself now, since no one else will)
This Topic Is Closed. Short, sweet and to the point. Not sure about inspirational though.
Great people talk about ideas. Average people talk about events. Small people talk about other people.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
There is still much to be done. Let us not lose sight.
it’s always great mussar to really meditate on one powerful line to let the message sink in.
in the past i focused on the end of Koheles, where after exploring how all the earth is empty and devoid of meaning or anything good and worthwhile, the wisest man who ever lived concludes, (in my own words) ‘the end of the matter, all being heard, fear G-d and keep his laws because that is all of man’.
also if you want to focus on learning, remember ‘Torah is our life and the length of our days’
i often focus on the fact that ‘a moment of olam haba is more pleasurable than all of the life of olam hazeh…’
Rabbi Akiva we know focused on the water dripping on the rock and made a hole, and he said to himself if water can make such an impact on solid rock, than Torah which is likened to fire, can make an impact on me and change what i am into something else like the water changed the rock. (it’s a kal vachomer, water which is weak made an impact on something as hard as rock, than Torah, much more powerful than water, can certainly make an impact on man/flesh, which is softer than rock)
If that guy can do it…
I never understood that one. Water is the strongest substance known to man.
Oh, I have tonz!

Thank you, Winston. I see you’ve been re educated.

Treat each day as if it’s your last. One day you’ll be right!

Amazing what you can do with quotes!

Shopping,
First of all, hi! So awesome seeing you here. How’s life?
Second, did you fit the second part of that quote into the song, too? (Pick up your head, princess- your tiara is falling.)

Be careful. You never get a second chance to make a first impression with someone.
Not true. You could always change your screen name…

By the way ?????????????, I’m taking the liberty of assuming that you meant “?? ????”.

Shkoyach Moderator for figuring that out. You like how I made it rhyme?
I guess you didn’t figure out my other one yet, because it hasn’t been approved.
Yes, excellent, and correct.
Here’s a hint:
The quote was said (in various forms) by:
?? ??????
???????? ?’???????
and
?’?? ????
but the latter two probably got it from the first one.
And the continuation of the quote is:
?? ?? ?????? ???? ?? ??????
?????? ???? ??????
I guess the hint helped.
PAA–correct
Not true. You could always change your screen name…
LF, do you say that from experience? 😉
Its better to try and fail and try and fail again, than to try and fail and fail to try again.
Moderators, you don’t have to research this one; it’s from the Pele Yoetz:

Do these really inspire you, Patur? 🙂
Just kidding. Actually, I have a request, which
should include the words “????” and “??????”.
“Love your fellow as yourself. The rest is commentary.”
I think this is a mash-up of two actual quotes:
“V’ohavto l’rei’acha kamocha – zeh k’lal gadol baTorah”
-Rabi Akiva
(A copied translation because I don’t know how to pronounce the Aramaic:)
“That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah;
the rest is its explanation; go and learn.”
-Hillel Hazokein
The day you die is the day G-d decided that
the world could exist without you.
-A twist of a previous quote
Comlink-x:
I hate to point this out to you, but you’re mixing up your threads (again). It wasn’t in the ring inscription thread; it was in:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/hebrew-quotes#post-537232
Although I could see why you would mix them up, considering:
Also notice how I improved my translation this time around.
And it’s a pity you can’t see my quote that wasn’t approved. I think you would have had a hard time researching it due to how I altered the syntax to make it rhyme in Hebrew.
As soon as I saw the original quote I though of your twist. But I didn’t post it.
Do these really inspire you, Patur? 🙂
Am I a megalomaniac? Of course they inspire me.
