("For your sake, that everyone who humbles himself, the Holy One, blessed be he who exalts himself, and everyone who exalts himself, the Holy One, blessed be he who humbles himself. Everyone who turns to greatness - greatness flees from him, and everyone who flees from greatness - greatness returns after him. And everyone who pushes the hour - hour pushes it away" - Erubin 13:2, and so: "He said that the correction It is in this that he will be honored by the whole world, for in this he will not be honored by the world, and he will be worthy of honor, for from what he flees, he pursues after himself, for he who pursues honor, honor flees from him, and he who flees from him and honor to the whole world, honor is pursued" - Chapters of Moses on the Fathers, Chapter 4, and so: "And the tongue in "Shabbet" "It is forbidden" - He who pursues honor, honor flees from him" - Rabbi Obadiah Yosef/ Branch of the Tree of the Ancestral Fathers, 34)
