Pirkie Avos - Mishnah 10 & 11

(1/1)

muman613:

--- Quote ---10. Shmaayah and Avtalyon received from them. Shmaayah would say: Love work, loath mastery over others, and avoid intimacy with the government.

11. Avtalyon would say: Scholars, be careful with your words. For you may be exiled to a place inhabited by evil elements [who will distort your words to suit their negative purposes]. The disciples who come after you will then drink of these evil waters and be destroyed, and the Name of Heaven will be desecrated.

--- End quote ---

These are wise words. A righteous person Loves Work and loaths mastery over others. It is also wise for a righteous person to avoid intimacy with the government.
