Or le Yom Bet, 22nd Adar, 5770
Hillel would say: Do not separate yourself from the community. Do not believe in yourself until the day you die. Do not judge your fellow until you have stood in his place. Do not say something that is not readily understood in the belief that it will ultimately be understood [or: Do not say something that ought not to be heard even in the strictest confidence, for ultimately it will be heard]. And do not say “When I free myself of my concerns, I will study,” for perhaps you will never free yourself.
(Avot 2)

Or le Yom Aleph, 21st Adar, 5770
The students praised a certain man in comparison to another. The Kotzker Rebbe replied: If I am I because I am I, and you are you because you are you, then I am I and you are you. But if I am I because you are you, and you are you because I am I, then I am not I and you are not you.

Or le Yom Hey, 18th Adar, 5770
Be careful with the government, for they befriend a person only for their own needs. They appear to be friends when it is beneficial to them, but they do not stand by a person at the time of his distress.

Know, when a man humbles himself, G-d will also humble Himself; but when a man is haughty and makes himself great, G-d also shows His greatness and pride.

Those who work for the community should do so for the sake of Heaven; for then merit of their ancestors shall aid them, and their righteousness shall endure forever. And you, [says G-d,] I shall credit you with great reward as if you have achieved it.

Contemplate three things, and you will not come to the hands of transgression: Know what is above from you: a seeing eye, a listening ear, and all your deeds being inscribed in a book.

Be as careful with a minor mitzvah as with a major one, for you do not know the rewards of the mitzvot. Consider the cost of a mitzvah against its rewards, and the rewards of a transgression against its cost.

Know: We must judge every man favorably. We have to search for the good point of even someone who is completely wicked, because even if it is only a little bit, in that little bit he is not wicked… By this means we can bring him to repentance.

4th Adar, 5770
All the Jewish people are responsible for one another. To what is this compared? A boat was sailing on the open seas, and one of the passengers took out a drill and began to make a hole under his seat. The other passengers cried: “What are you doing? You’re endangering us all!” “What is your problem?” he said, “I’m drilling under my own seat!”.
