Wisdom and Wit - Parashat Nitzavim Vayelech
What do you mean “his”?
Upon finding a Jew in some type of distress, whether physical or emotional in nature, R’ Moshe Leib of Sasov would relate so closely to the other person that he would even feel the other’s pain.
He was asked: “Rebbe, how is it possible for you to always share the other person’s distress the way you do?”
R’ Moshe Leib would answer, “What do you mean “share”? And what do you mean “the other person?” We Jews are all parts of a single body, and how can I not feel that distress?”

R’ Yehuda Chasid of Regensburg would say: As long as I remain silent, I control my tongue. Once I start speaking, my tongue controls me.
