Above all, you must fight conceit, envy, and every kind of ill-feeling in your heart.

You must never tire fighting Satan.

Be modest, humble, simple. Control your anger.

If you feel that you are good, don't be too proud of it.

If you study the Talmud you please God even more than you do by praying or fasting.

If a man is tongue-tied, don't laugh at him, but, rather, feel pity for him, as you would for a man with broken legs.
