Hold no man responsible for what he says in his grief.

The Talmud

The Talmud has much wisdom such as this because its the combined thoughts of many rabbis. 

The Talmud (Hebrew: תַּלְמוּד talmūd "instruction, learning", from a root lmd "teach, study") is a central text of mainstream Judaism, considered second to the Torah.

It is also traditionally referred to as Shas (ש״ס), a Hebrew abbreviation of shisha sedarim, the "six orders" of the Oral Law of Judaism.

The Talmud has two components: the Mishnah (Hebrew: משנה, c. 200 CE), the first written compendium of Judaism's Oral Law, and the Gemara (c. 500 CE), an elucidation of the Mishnah and related Tannaitic writings that often ventures onto other subjects and expounds broadly on the Hebrew Bible.

The terms Talmud and Gemara are often used interchangeably.

The whole Talmud consists of 63 tractates, and in standard print is over 6,200 pages long. It is written in Tannaitic Hebrew and Aramaic.

When love is strong, a man and a woman can make their bed on a sword's blade. When love grows weak, a bed of 60 cubits is not large enough.
The Talmud
This is truth / reality.  We all who have been loved ,or who have loved deeply and strongly, know this to be true. 
You can live in a tent, as long as love resides there with you.  ( m peters)
Love is all powerful.   Love is really the All.  It is the all we all look for all of our lives.
