One who learns from every person, as it is stated: From all who have instructed me have I gained wisdom; yea, Your testimonies are my discourse.1 Who is strong? One who subdues his [evil] inclination, as it is stated: Better is he who is slow to anger than a mighty man, and better is he who rules his passions than one who conquers a city.2 Who is rich? One who is content with his lot, as it is said: When you eat from the toil of your hands, you are fortunate and it shall go well with you.3 \"You are fortunate\"—in this world; \"and it shall go well with you\"—in the World to Come. Who is honored? One who honors others, as it is stated: Indeed, those who honor Me I shall honor, and those who scorn Me shall be degraded.4",
