Journey

“I remember meeting once a lady who said to me, “Rebbetzin darling, if I had only met you thirty years ago, how different my life would have been.” And I said to her, “My dear friend, if only I had met me thirty years ago!” Because thirty years ago I didn’t know the things I know today.”

Balance

“It doesn’t matter whether you are a cab driver or a physician. The question becomes, what sort of a physician do you become? Or what sort of a cab driver do you become?”

Purpose

“We all have to know that because of us, the world was a little bit better; it became finer. We touched some people, we touched some hearts, and we made a difference. Don’t cook for just yourself. Cook for the world. Cook for others!”
