EACH ONE US HAS HIS DEFECTS. DO NOT FOLLOW THE WAY OF THE FLY BUT THAT OF THE BEE...


You look at every defect. Each one of us has his defects. Who hasn't? I can point out many defects in the Jews. The wicked are always looking for defects. ... Flies come and seek for the [ulcer], and bees come only for the honey in the flower. Do not follow the way of the fly but that of the bee....
