TRACTATE ABOTH FATHERS OF THE MISHNA CHAPTER 2 “[Hillel] would say: A boor does not fear to commit sin; an ignorant man cannot be pious; he that is bashful shall not learn; he that is impatient cannot teach; he that is entirely taken up with trade cannot be wise; and in a place where there does not seem to be a man, endeavor thou to be a man. […] He would say: He that increases his flesh, increases vermin; he that accumulates possession increases worry; […] he that increases slaves increases thievery; he that increases learning increases life; he that increases study increases wisdom; he that increases counsel increases understanding; he that increases charity increases peace; he has secured for himself a good name, he has secured for himself the teachings of the Law and has secured life in the world to come. Rabbi Eliezer says: Let the honor of thy friend be as dear to thee as thy own. Arouse not thy anger easily. Repent a day before thou die. […] Rabbi Yossi says: Let the money of thy friend be as valuable to thee as thy own, and set thyself to learn the Law which is not thy heritage, and all thy deeds shall be for the sake of Heaven. Rabbi Eleazer says: Be diligent in thy study of the Law, and know what to answer to the unbeliever, and know for whom thou strive, and be confident of thy master that he will reward thee for thy effort.”
