“Kol ha'olam kulo gesher tzar me'od, veha'ikar lo le'fached klal.”

— Nachman of Breslov

All the world is a very narrow bridge, and the most important thing is not to be overwhelmed by fear.
Derived from Likutei Moharan II #48, וְדַע, שֶׁהָאָדָם צָרִיך לַעֲבר עַל גֶּשֶׁר צַר מְאֹד מְאֹד וְהַכְּלָל וְהָעִקָּר שֶׁלּא יִתְפַּחֵד כְּלָל
"...Now know, a person needs to pass over on a very, very narrow bridge, and the rule and the essence is to not be afraid at all..."

“When its 100 degrees in New York, it's 72 in Los Angeles. When its 30 degrees in New York, in Los Angeles it's still 72. However, there are 6 million interesting people in New York, and only 72 in Los Angeles.”

“Lo, the book I hold here,
In the city cold here !

I hold it with a gentle hand and love it as I may;
Lo, the weary moments!
Lo, the icy comments!
And lo, false Fortune's knife of gold swift-lifted up to slay!

Has the strife no ending?
Has the song no meaning?

Linger I, idle as of old, while men are reaping or gleaning?”
