• Si un hombre fuera a tratar en el mundo solamente por un día, y nunca tuviera ocasión de conversar más con la humanidad, nunca más necesitara su buena opinión o buena palabra, entonces no sería gran cosa (hablando en cuanto a las preocupaciones de este mundo), si un hombre gastara su reputación toda de una vez, y la aventurara de un solo golpe; pero si va a continuar en el mundo, y quiere tener la ventaja de la conversación mientras está en él, que haga uso de la verdad y la sinceridad en todas sus palabras y acciones; porque nada más que esto durará y se mantendrá hasta el final.

• Our sages of blessed memory have said that we must not enjoy any pleasure in this world without reciting a blessing. If we eat any food, or drink any beverage, we must recite a blessing over them before and after. If we breathe the scent of goodly grass, the fragrance of spices, the aroma of good fruits, we pronounce a blessing over the pleasure. The same applies to pleasures of the sight. And the same applies to pleasures of the ear.
