Rabbi Akiva would say... All is foreseen, choice is granted, and the world is judged in kindness
Ethics of the Fathers 3:15
I found the discussion that I linked above to be especially interesting given the time of year. Here are a couple more.
Ben Zoma would say: Who is wise? One who learns from every man. As it is written: “From all my teachers I have grown wise, for Your testimonials (eidosecha) are my meditation.”[1]
The world is sustained by three things:By justice, by truth, and by peace.
—Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel
