There we saw giants... and we were in our own eyes as locusts (13:33)
Someone once asked Rabbi Shmuel of Lubavitch: "What is true learning?"
The Rebbe replied: "When one studies a section of Talmud or an idea in chassidus, one is there, together with its illustrious author. He is building upon the sage's wisdom like a midget perched upon a giant - he is riding on the giant's shoulders.
"One must be grateful to the giant that he doesn't fling the nuisance from his shoulders."
