Chapter 3 17b
The sages teach us that wisdom (intellect) is not an intrinsic part of us, but is acquired and can be lost. Silence helps us to acquire wisdom, plus it helps us to maintain the wisdom acquired. The faculty of speech is somewhat physical, which is the opposite of intellectual. Since opposites cannot exist simultaneously, one must suspend conceptual activity in order to speak aloud. Hence, therefore, silence strengths the intellect (wisdom) by enabling it to act effectively.

Chapter 3 Mishnah 16b n 17a
The sages teach us that if we do not greet others with a cheerful expression, they will feel unappreciated, and possibly hurt their feelings. “Receive everyone cheerfully” is more positive and substantial advice, it is intended to honor those you greet.

Chapter 3 Mishnah 15b
HaShem has placed us in a world which is a physical link to holiness in this life and a corridor to the World to Come. One who rejects the link to holiness in this world has no means to attain the World to Come.

Chapter 3 Mishnah 14 ‘n 15a
Late morning sleep, midday wine, children’s chatter, and sitting in meeting houses of the ignorant.
Late morning sleep: abrogates the morning prayer that Avraham instituted.
Midday wine: abrogates the noontime prayer that Yitzchak instituted.
Childrens’s chatter: which means engaging in the foolish talk found among children, is a misuse of the special blessing of children that was Ya’akov’s privilege.
Sitting in the meeting house of the ignorant: places one at a distant from the community of Yisra’el.

Chapter 3 Mishnah 12 ‘n 13
We learned in the preceding two mishnayot that HaShem fulfills our alacrity search for wisdom in response to our fear of sin and in response to our good deeds. The reason is that HaShem is so closely bound to people that He responds to our initiative. Our Mishnah continues with yet another consequence of this connection between man and HaShem: When people are pleased with someone, HaShem favors them as well.
“Treat His will as if it were your own will, so that He will treat your will as if it were His will” (Avot 2:4)

Chapter 3 Mishnah 10 & 11
We are told that Torah studies stay with a person whose study is based on the fear of HaShem and whose deeds exceed their knowledge. The phrase “fear of sin” is equivalent to the expression “fear of HaShem.” The fear referred to is the feeling that arises from stark recognition that we are utterly dependent on HaShem for our very existence.
