3.3 On Learning and Studying

Torah learning is best combined with an occupation/profession, because the effort of both will keep one from sin. Torah study alone without work will, in the end, be nullified and lead to sin. 

-Ethics of the Fathers, 2:2

He who occupies himself with the study of the law alone is as one who has no God.

-Rav Huna

Inferred from II Chronicles 15:3, ‘Avodah Zarah 17b

Ben Zoma says: Who is wise? The one who learns from every person, as it is said: “From all those who taught me I gained understanding” (Psalms 119:99). 

-Ethics of the Fathers, 4:1
