“Words Should Be Weighed, Not Counted” a Jewish Saying (part four)
April 14, 2011

“Learn how to be silent — so that you’ll know how to speak” —Rebbe Mendel of Vorki
We have all been hit by an arrow of hurtful words, so remember this
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent” — Eleanor Roosevelt?
