The Shpoler Zaida once said: "Our greatest sages begged of You to bring Moshiach and You didn't want; The Ari begged and You didn't want; other great people in each generation begged and You didn't want; until it came to the point that an insignificant one such as I, stand before You and ask for Moshiach, and even now You refuse. I say to You: 'There will come a generation that will not want You and will not want Moshiach--then You will bring him.'"
