Quotes About Soul-trait

COMPASSION IS AN EXTREMELY noble soul-trait. Anything that one can do to cultivate this soul-trait, one should exert oneself to do. Just as one wishes to receive compassion in one's own time of need, so too, one should pity others when they are in need. As it is written: "And you should love your neighbor as yourself" (Leviticus 19:18). —ORCHOT TZADDIKIM (1540)

ANGER IS A DESTRUCTIVE soul-trait. Just as scurvy is a disease of the body, so is anger a disease of the soul. —ORCHOT TZADDIKIM (1540)
