Pirkei Avot - from Rabbi Hillel the Elder II:8
More flesh, more worms.
More things, more anxiety.
More lovers, more illusion.
More maids, more exploitation.
More servants, more robbery.
But ...
More Torah, more Life.
More learning, more wisdom.
More counsel, more insight.
More charity, more peace.
Acquire a good name, and you acquire fame,
but acquire wisdom, and you acquire eternity,
awakening to Reality in the timeless moment of the eternal now.
