ה. עַל יְדֵי שְׁמִירַת שַׁבָּת הוּא כְּבֵן הַמִּתְחַטֵּא לִפְנֵי אָבִיו וְהוּא מְמַלֵּא שְׁאֵלוֹתָיו, גַּם הוּא גּוֹזֵר וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מְקַיְּמָהּ, גַּם הַקֶּרֶן שֶׁל הַמַּעֲשִׂים טוֹבִים שֶׁלּוֹ קַיָּמִים לָעוֹלָם הַבָּא, וְאֵינוֹ אוֹכֵל אֶלָּא מִפֵּרוֹתֵיהֶם.

**The aleph bet book, translated by Moshe Mykoff. New York: Breslov Research Institute, 1986:**
A person who observes Shabbat is like a son who apologizes to his father and is given everything he wants. Such a person can also decree and the Holy One will give him what he wants. In addition, the reward he enjoys for his good deeds is drawn against his earnings, whereas the principal remains intact for him to enjoy in the World to Come.
