    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…

    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.

    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)

    Oh, I have tonz!

    – Someday, this pain will make sense to you.

    -Every breath is a second chance.

    – Be the reason someone smiles today.

    – It’s okay to struggle, but its never okay to give up on yourself.

    – Be who you want to be, not what others want to see.

    – We cant solve problems by using the same thinking we used when we created them.

    – its not how good you are, its how good you want to be.

    – Life is like riding a bicycle. in order to keep your balance, you have to keep moving.

    – What is life? They say its from b to d. Birth to Death. But what is between b and d? Its a c, so what is a c? Choices. Our life is a matter of choices.

    – There will be many chapters in your life. Dont get lost in the one youre in now.

    – You are never alone because there must be one trying to get closer to you.

    – Today is a new day.

    – Smile. Why? Because you can.

    – Pick up your head, princess. Your tiara is falling.

    – The past is in your head. The future is in your hands.

    Hope this helps!

    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.)

    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:

    ?? ?? ?????? ???? ?? ??????

    ?????? ???? ??????

    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

    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:

    http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/hebrew-ring-inscriptions-engraving-for-wedding-engagement-ring#post-534582

    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.

    Am I a megalomaniac? Of course they inspire me.
