Rabbi Nehorai says: Exile yourself to a place of Torah, and do not assume that it will come after you, for it is your colleagues who will cause it to remain wit you; “and do not rely on your own understanding” (Mishlei 3:5).
The only way to acquire Torah is to pursue it. Torah knowledge, in its full depth, is elusive, for it transcends human quality and abilities. It goes without saying that Torah will not come on its own.

Mishnah 17
Rabbi Shimon says: There are three crowns–the crown of Torah, the crown of priesthood and the crown of kingship: but the crown of a good name surpasses them all.
Mishnah 16 extolled the importance of Talmud over the importance of Mishnah and Scripture. Mishnah 17 was placed after that statement because the “crown of Torah” refers primarily to the study of the Talmud, rather than the Scripture or Mishnah.

Mishnah 14-15-16
Rabbi Yochanan the Sandler says: Every assembly that is dedicated to the sake of Heaven will endure to the end, but one that is not for the sake of Heaven will not endure to the end.
Rabbi Elazar ben Shamua says: Let the honor of your student be as dear to you as your own; the honor of your colleague as the reverence for your teacher; and the reverence for your teacher as the reverence of Heaven.
Rabbi Yehudah says: Be meticulous in Talmud, for a careless misinterpretation in Talmud is considered tantamount to willful transgression.

Mishnah 13
Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov says: He who fulfills even a single mitzvah gains himself a single advocate …
These are the precepts whose fruits a person enjoys in this world, but whose principal remains intact for him in the World to Come: honoring of father and mother, acts of kindness, early attendance at the house of study morning and evening, hospitality to guests, visiting the sick, providing for a bride, escorting the dead, absorption in prayer, bring peace between man and his fellow, and the study of Torah is equivalent to them all.
Please view this short video in which Rabbi Richman personally invites you to join him in America this January as he speaks about the world today and the role Israel is destined to play in leading the world “From Exile to Redemption.”

Mishnah 12
Rabbi Meir says: reduce your business activities and engage in Torah study.
Without Torah, a person moves ever further away from goodness and well-being and becomes more susceptible to being a victim of thieves, war, or natural dangers.
―but if you labor in Torah, HaShem has ample reward to give you.
Even a small accomplishment in Torah study constitutes enormous progress, because Torah study is all encompassing. It touches upon every important element of life, and each point of Torah is a general principle that applies to countless specific situations.
