The world in the holy language is “olam,” a place of concealment. It appears to be independent of the Creator; in other words, it is a world only because of the concealment of the truth. – Lubavitcher Rebbe

We take the laws of nature too seriously. We believe that the world exists just as the Creator exists. A miracle is a state of knowledge that asserts: “Our reality is but a reflection of the Higher Reality. In this Higher Truth, there is no world, there is nothing but Him.” – Lubavitcher Rebbe

Existence is the greatest of all miracles: every moment, everything comes into being from absolute nothingness. In general, the essence of everything is nothing from which it arises. Why is it unbelievable that nothing behaves like nothing? Why is it easier to accept the existence of the world than to believe in miracles? – Lubavitcher Quote

When you run away from responsibility from one place to another, a double loss occurs: you are not in the place where you should be and you are in a place where you should not be. – Lubavitcher Rebbe

Sometimes you want to run away from where you are now, in search of your Jerusalem. Wherever you are, whatever you do, make it your Jerusalem. – Lubavitcher Rebbe

Every moment has two faces. A moment defined by the past from which it emerged and a moment defined by the future to which it leads. But the moment itself has its own meaning, purpose, and life. Do not kill the moment. – Lubavitcher Rebbe
