"The main completion of the
soul is accomplished when it is able to remain down below even after it has
already departed above [after death]. This is the reason why one must leave
behind a blessing: either a child or a student, so that one’s Godly awareness
can remain down below even after his soul ascends on high."
- Rebbe Nachman
“To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.” John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent. Life teaches many lessons. Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied. Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.
