אַרְבַּע מִדּוֹת בְּהוֹלְכֵי לְבֵית הַמִּדְרָשׁ. הוֹלֵךְ וְאֵינוֹ עוֹשֶׂה, שְׂכַר הֲלִיכָה בְיָדוֹ. עוֹשֶׂה וְאֵינוֹ הוֹלֵךְ, שְׂכַר מַעֲשֶׂה בְיָדוֹ. הוֹלֵךְ וְעוֹשֶׂה, חָסִיד. לֹא הוֹלֵךְ וְלֹא עוֹשֶׂה, רָשָׁע:
Hay cuatro medios para ir a la casa de estudio: ir pero no hacer [es decir, ir a la casa de estudio para escuchar, pero no revisar su aprendizaje y no comprender] —la recompensa de ir está en su mano; haciendo [es decir, aprendiendo y revisando en su estudio en casa], pero no yendo—la recompensa de hacer está en su mano; yendo y haciendo—un chasid no yendo y no haciendo— uno malvado
Pirkei Avot
There are four types of charity givers. He who wishes to give, but that others should not give: his eye is evil to that which belongs to others; He who wishes that others should give, but that he himself should not give: his eye is evil towards that which is his own; He who desires that he himself should give, and that others should give: he is a pious man; He who desires that he himself should not give and that others too should not give: he is a wicked man.
