“One should see the world, and see himself as a scale with an equal bal...” — Maimonides Quote

“One should see the world, and see himself as a scale with an equal balance of good and evil. When he does one good deed the scale is tipped to the good - he and the world is saved. When he does one evil deed the scale is tipped to the bad - he and the world is destroyed.”

“To the totality of purposes of the perfect Law there belong the abandonment, depreciation, and restraint of desires in so far as possible.”

“The whole object of the Prophets and the Sages was to declare that a limit is set to human reason where it must halt.”

“No news at 4:30 a.m. is good.”

“Watch the walls come down, whether it's in the South or on Wall Street. When the walls come down, what do we find? More markets, more talent, more capital and growth. Which means that the race and sex discrimination stunt economic growth. It's not good for capitalism. It's not good for America's growth. And it's not morally right.”

“History isn't just the story of bad people doing bad things. It's quite as much a story of people trying to do good things. But somehow, something goes wrong.”
