Title:	Man's eternal dilemma.
Answer:	im ein anili mili veim ani leazmi mi ani

Hints:	1. it's all about me. 2. do I like myself? 3. do I like others?

Explanation:	Loose translation: if I am not for myself, then who is for me? and if I'm only for myself, what am I? One must realize that one cannot depend on others to support him, but at the same time, one should never be selfish.

Its a saying from the Talmud, Avot. Its said correctly, but it should be spaced differntly, ie "ani li mi li, not anili mili".

That is incorrect. The proper phrase is this:

Im ein ani li, mi li?
(If I am not for myself, who is for me?)
Uchshe'ani l'atzmi, mah ani?
(And if I am only for myself, what am I?)
V'im lo achshav, eimatai?
(And if not now, when?)

It's important to have such wonderful quotes publicized correctly.

There is no real equavalent english phrase for the first half of the qoute, but the second half seems to mean something similar to "no man is an island".Would that be correct?
