Daily Quote
Truth is the middle path. An inclination to the right, to be overly stringent with oneself and find faults or sins not in accord with the truth, or an inclination to the left, to be overly indulgent, covering one's faults or being lenient in demands of G-d's service out of self-love -- both these ways are false.
Rabbi Sholom DovBer of Lubavitch (1860-1920)
