Mishnah for Pirkei Avot 6:12
רבי חנניא בן עקשיא אומר, רצה הקדוש ברוך הוא לזכות את ישראל, לפיכך הרבה להם תורה ומצות, שנאמר יהוה חפץ למען צדקו יגדיל תורה ויאדיר.
(Makkot 3:16) Rabbi Chananya ben Akashia says, The Holy One, Blessed be He, wanted to give Israel merit; therefore He multiplied for them Torah and commandments, as it is written, "The Lord desired, for the sake of his righteousness, to make the Torah great and glorious," (Isaiah 42:21).
Pirkei Avot
Shimon, his son, used to say: all my days I grew up among the sages, and I have found nothing better for a person than silence. Study is not the most important thing, but actions; whoever indulges in too many words brings about sin.
