They [each] said three things. R' Eliezer says: Let your fellow's honor be as dear to you as your own, and do not anger easily; and repent one day before your death. Warm yourself opposite the fire of the sages, but beware of their glowing coal lest you be scorched, for their bite is the bite of a fox, their sting is the sting of a scorpion, their hiss is the hiss of a serpent, and all their words are like fiery coals.

'RYehoshua says: An evil eye, the evil inclination, and hatred of other people remove a person from the world.

'RYose says: Let your fellow's money be as dear to you as your own. Apply yourself to study the Torah, for it is not yours by inheritance. And let all your deeds be for the sake of Heaven.

'RShimon says: Be meticulous in reciting the Shema [and in prayer]. And when you pray, do not make your prayer fixed, rather [an entreaty for] mercy and a supplication before the Omnipresent, as it is said: For He (God) is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in kindness, and relentful of punishment.” And do not view yourself as a wicked person.
