"When wisdom is not properly utilized, and one forgets to seek the prior causes and sources, truth becomes distorted. It is even possible to deify a particular entity, as a result of forgetting about the original cause -- the Creator of the universe."

"With one good thought, you can change your life, even save the world." - The Rebbe |

"When a person sees, hears, or learns about an event, there must be a specific lesson of personal relevance... If this applies with regard to an individual occurrence, how much more so is it the case with regard to a person's career and work, in which the greater part of his energies, abilities, and time are invested." The Rebbe, Mind Over Matter, Ch.2"

"If a century ago, when scientists still spoke in terms of absolute truths, it was "understandable" why a person who wished to adhere to his faith might have been embarrassed to challenge "scientific" claims, this is no longer the case in our day and age. - The Rebbe, Mind Over Matter, Ch.2"

"The gates of editing are never closed."
The Rebbe - to Prof. Herman Branover

"People act in accordance with their beliefs, and skeptics are no different. Hence it is reasonable to expect that a skeptic will feel free to use as a basis for action any ideas that are shown to meet his criteria of legitimacy. On this basis, there is not only one, but several proofs for the existence of G-d and, as mentioned, there is no problem if one is forced to say that this existence is not grasped by the senses or the mind, or even if it contradicts rationality. As long as this existence accounts for observed reality and does so better than any other proposition, we have what is usually considered to be conclusive, scientific proof."
The Rebbe - Mind Over Matter - Ch. 1 |

"A hundred and fifty years ago they thought that science and physics spoke the absolute truth. Kant and Einstein proved that science never did and never will be able to give absolute truths. The scientist can only say: If you will accept these axioms and these methods of deduction, you will come to the following conclusions.."

"Our Sages teach, "Precious is man, for he has been created in the image of G-d." In his Guide to the Perplexed, Rambam explains that "the image of G-d" refers to our capacity "to conceive of intellectual ideas and to be conscious of 'Him who spoke and brought the world into being.'" This, the ability to use our minds creatively and to direct our thoughts to G-d, is the pinnacle of our human potential."
The Rebbe - Shabbos Ki Seitse, 5751

"At first glance, the question seems simple enough, especially since the concepts are straightforward and the terms familiar. But this apparent simplicity is deceptive, and to address the question properly requires clarity of language and careful definition of terms."

Our Sages debate (in Taanis 5b):
"Yaakov avinu did not die"
"Was it for nothing that he was mourned, embalmbed and buried?"
"Just as his descendents are alive, he too is alive."

"Nine Moses' cannot make a minyan to say a kedusha, though that would be a tremendous amount of quality; but if you have ten in quantity [regardless of their stature], you can say kedusha, just as the Midrash Rabba stated that 600,000 were necessary for the Revelation at Sinai. This indicates that quantity transforms into quality." The Rebbe - meeting with Hillel Directors, August 1959
