Good Shabbat

"The most fundamental principle of all is that man must create himself. - Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik, Halakhic Man

"Why was man created last? In order to say, if he is worthy, all creation was made for you; but if he is unworthy, he is told, even a gnat preceded you." - (Bereishith Rabbah 8: 1; Sanhedrin 38a)

"I may attack a certain point of view which I consider false, but I will never attack a person who preaches it. I have always a high regard for the individual who is honest and moral, even when I am not in agreement with him. Such a relation is in accord with the concept of kavod habriyot, for beloved is man for he is created in the image of God." —Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik
