Menachem Mendel Schneerson quotes

We are always rushing to an appointment or trying to meet a deadline. (Menachem Mendel Schneerson)

Education, in general, should not be limited to the acquisition of knowledge and preparation for a career or in common parlance, "to make a better living." We must think in terms of a "better life," not only for the individual, but also for society as a whole. The educational system must, therefore, pay more attention, indeed the main attention, to the building of character, with emphasis on moral and ethical values.

Menachem Mendel Schneerson

Activism on behalf of the ways of Chassidus means that even when a chassid is in the marketplace, deeply involved in his business, he still thinks about what he can do for chassidic concerns and the welfare of chassidim.... Activism on behalf of the ways of Chassidus is a personal obligation, regardless whether one is great or limited in knowledge of Chassidus.

Menachem Mendel Schneerson

Not only will this make you treat each moment more preciously, but you will be more patient with yourself and with others, recognizing that there are millions of moments on the path to any worthwhile achievement.

Menachem Mendel Schneerson

When you waste a moment, you have killed it in a sense, squandering an irreplaceable opportunity. But when you use the moment properly, filling it with purpose and productivity, it lives on forever. (Menachem Mendel Schneerson)

So during those first moments of the day, which are yours and yours alone, you can circumvent these boundaries and concentrate fully on spiritual matters. And this gives you the opportunity to plan the time management of the entire day.

Menachem Mendel Schneerson

Without question, the material world and your everyday needs distract you from living meaningfully.

Menachem Mendel Schneerson

We have been conditioned to see the passing of time as an adversary.
