Do not seek greatness, and do not covet more honor than your learning warrants. Do not sit at the table of kings, for your table is greater than theirs, and your crown is greater than theirs.
From “Chapters of the Fathers,” in Gates of Prayer, Chaim Stern, ed. (New York: Central Conference of American Rabbis, 1975), 8.
