“Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that thy principles are just, and then be thou.”
“And you can't make a mistake when you are reading the Torah, so you have men standing around who will correct you if you are reading it incorrectly.”
