   Everyone has something that's important to him.

   • Tanach, Proverbs 15:3, with translation of the Jewish Publication Society:

     בְּכָל מָקוֹם עֵינֵי ה׳ צֹפוֹת רָעִים וְטוֹבִים׃

     B'khol makom einei Adonai tsofot ra'im v-tovim.

     The eyes of the Lord are in every place, Keeping watch upon the evil and the good.

   • Liturgical blessing

     בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה׳ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, שֶׁהַכֹּל נִהְיֶה בִּדְבָרוֹ.

     barúkh ata Adonai elohéinu mélekh ha`olám, shehakól nihyé bid'varó.

     Blessed are you, Lord our God, king of the world, by whose word everything comes to be.

   • c. 1800, Nachman of Breslov,

     'כָל הָעוֹלָם כֻּלוֹ גֶשֶׁר צָר מְאוֹד, וְהָעִיקָר לֹא לְפַחֵד כְּלָל.

     kol ha'olam kulo gesher tsar m'od, v'ha'ikar lo l'fakhed k'lal.

     The entire world is a very narrow bridge, and the main thing is not to have any fear at all.

• This term is most commonly found in its construct form, כל (kol, “all-of”). When this is the case, all agreement — gender, number, person — is with the following noun. For example, כולנו (kulánu, “all-of-us, everyone”) is plural, first-person, and usually masculine (but it will be feminine if it's referring to a specific group, all of whose members are women).
