  1. Verdict: Facebook status updates beat Twitter. As of now, the Great Twitter Experiment is officially over. It was worth a shot.
  2. I was in the middle of procrastinating when I received an email advertising a "Wine Tasting," but I read it as "Time Wasting." Back to work!
  3. My "current" definition of stress: the fear of failing to live up to what you feel you have to be.
  4. "On the one hand, there are things that are in our power, whereas other things are not in our power" -- Epictetus
  5. We have a natural fear of ends. We'd rather be always on the way than arrive. Given the means, we hang on to them and forget the ends -- EH
  6. If anyone stumbles upon insights into human nature during Thanksgiving, I'd love to hear them. Email me at rabbischneeweiss @gmail.com.
  7. "The most interesting information comes from children, for they tell all they know and then stop" -- Mark Twain
  8. To say "I love you" one must first be able to say the "I" -- Ayn Rand
  9. "The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it" -- Ayn Rand
  10. I never guessed that I would one day teach Talmudic methodology by analyzing flatulence.
  11. Adulthood: one big myth.
  12. The more authorities a person cites, the more suspicious you should be as to whether that person ACTUALLY knows what he's talking about.
  13. "If you have become wise, you have become wise for yourself; if you scoff, you alone will bear [the consequences]" (Mishlei 9:12)
  14. Only now, after watching the dynamics of the HAFTR basketball team, do I understand the term "success" in the Ralbag's definition of Torah.
  15. If our desires were in line with reality, life would be a lot easer. (And I wouldn't have been compelled to write this.)
  16. "If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions" -- Jules Winnfield (Pulp Fiction)
  17. "The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution" -- Albus Dumbledore
  18. "Emunas chachamim" does not mean "blind faith in the words of the chachamim"; it means "rational conviction that they ARE chachamim."
  19. It is a unique feeling of relief to realize that you are on the wrong train and to switch to the right one, JUST before both trains leave.
  20. "When in doubt tell the truth" -- Mark Twain
