A good neighbor sometimes cuts your morning up to mince-meat of the very smallest talk, then helps to sugar her bohea at night with your reputation. (Zundel Ernst)
Sometimes a neighbor whom we have disliked a lifetime for his arrogance and conceit lets fall a single commonplace remark that shows us another side, another man, really; a man uncertain, and puzzled, and in the dark like ourselves. (Zundel Ernst)
We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next door neighbor. (Zundel Ernst)
Your next-door neighbor is not a man; he is an environment. He is the barking of a dog; he is the noise of a piano; he is a dispute about a party wall; he is drains that are worse than yours, or roses that are better than yours. (Zundel Ernst)
Of neighborhoods, benevolence is the most beautiful. How can the man be considered wise who when he had the choice does not settle in benevolence. (Zundel Ernst)

A neighborhood is where, when you go out of it, you get beat up. (Zundel Ernst)
To love our neighbor as ourselves is such a truth for regulating human society, that by that alone one might determine all the cases in social morality. (Zundel Ernst)
This is the sum of all -- righteousness. In causing pleasure or in giving pain, in doing good or injury to others, a man obtains a proper rule of action by looking at his neighbor as himself. (Zundel Ernst)
When strangers start acting like neighbors... communities are reinvigorated. (Zundel Ernst)
Hedges between keep friendships green. (Zundel Ernst)
