'RMeir says: Limit your business activities and engage in Torah study. Be of humble spirit before every person. If you should neglect the [study of] Torah, you will be confronted with many causes of neglect; but if you labor in the Torah, He has ample reward to give you.

'REliezer ben Yaakov says: He who fulfills [even] a single mitzvah acquires for himself a single advocate, while he who commits [even] a single transgression acquires for himself a single accuser.  Repentance and good deeds are like a shield against mis-fortune.  R' Yochanan HaSandler says: Every assembly that is dedicated to the sake of Heaven will endure; but one that is not for the sake of Heaven will not endure.
