אֵלֶה הַדְּבַרִים אְַשֶר דִבֶר מֹשה
Eileh hadvarim asher diber Mosheh
These are the words that Moshe spoke (Deuteronomy 1:1)
ווען השי”ת האָט געשיקת משנ’ן ארויסצונעמען די אידען פון מצרים, האָט משה גע’טענה’ט, „לא איש דברים אנכי,“ אָפּזײַנדיג אזא צייט מנהיג ביי אידען, האָבן זיי מיט זייערע האנדלונגען, מחלוקת’ן, און שטענדיגען מורמלען, געמאכט אים פאר אן איש דברים, ווי די תורה זאגט עדות, „אלה הדברים אשר דבר משה.“ (קוזשניץער מגיד)
When Hashem Yisboroch (The Holy Blessed One) sent Moshe to remove the Jews from Egypt, Moshe argued, “Lo ish d’varim anochi” (I am not a man of words – Exodus 4:10). The entire time Moshe led the Jews, through their actions, controversies and incessant murmuring, they made him into an ish d’varim (man of words). As the Torah testifies, “Eileh hadvarim asher diber Mosheh” (These are the words that Moshe spoke). (Kozhnitzer Magid)

The Kozhnitzer Maggid
Rebbe Yisroel Hopsztajn (1733 – 1814) was the founder of the Kozhnitz Hasidic Dynasty in Kozienice (in Yiddish: קוזשעניץ, קוזשיניץ, or קוזשניץ), Poland.
He studied primarily under Elimelech of Lizhensk, whom, as you will recall, was a disciple of Dov Ber (The Maggid of Mezeritch), who was the disciple of the Ba’al Shem Tov. The Maggid of Mezeritch himself was also a significant teacher of the Kozhnitzer.

לֹא יַחֵל דְבַרוֹ
lo yacheil d’varo
he shall not break his word
אפילו דײַן שיחת־חולין זאלסטו ניט פארשוועכען. (פאָזשעניצער מאגיד)
Even your small-talk you should not take lightly. (The Kozhnitzer Maggid)
