[Quote No.47651] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"Ignore Insults:
We have an obligation to be extremely careful not to do or say anything that will constitute even a minor slight to the honor and respect due another person. However, if someone insults us, we should tolerate what they say and still strive to be kind to that person.
Of course, this is not an easy level to reach. It takes much hard work and effort to train yourself to ignore the insults of others." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
Quote from his book, 'Consulting the Wise'.

[Quote No.48309] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"Insulting An Insulter:
Trying to stop someone from insulting you, by insulting him back, is like trying to put out a fire by throwing oil on it.
If you insult someone who insults you, he will continue insulting you, even more vigilantly and viciously. If, however, you remain silent to an insult, the person will have said what he wanted and will stop." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
From his book, 'Gateway to Happiness', p.302.

[Quote No.48320] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"Be A Good-Digger: When you come into contact with another person, make a special effort to see their virtues.
Not only look for good points, but try to genuinely feel pleasure in discovering a new virtue in someone. A person who masters this trait lives in an entirely different world than someone who lacks it. Everyone he meets has positive elements that he notices, and hence he will show honor and respect to everyone." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
Quote from his book, 'Gateway to Happiness', p. 139.

[Quote No.48327] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression, press and censorship:] The function of free speech under our [US] system of government is to invite dispute. It may indeed best serve its high purpose when it invites a condition of unrest, creates dissatisfaction with conditions as they are, or even stirs people to anger. Speech is often provocative and challenging. It may strike at prejudices and preconceptions and have profound unsettling effects as it passes for acceptance of an idea." - Justice William O. Douglas
(1898-1980), U. S. Supreme Court Justice. Source: Terminello v. Chicago, 1949.

[Quote No.48377] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression, press and censorship:] ...if you only seek out people that agree with you, then your life is going to be boring. As I’ve written in the past, I constantly seek out people who disagree with me in investing and in life, because they poke holes in my arguments. These people will make you learn, because you’ll have to dig deeper. Sometimes you'll have to change your mind because you were wrong, and sometimes additional thinking will let you reconfirm your original thesis!" - Vitaliy N. Katsenelson
