View source for Loving Torah Scholars (Talmidei Chachamim)

# The Mitzvah of "ובו תדבק", cleaving to Hashem, is interpreted by the Sages to refer to cleaving to the Sages and Torah scholars. <ref> Rashi (Devarim 11:22) quotes the Sifrei which says clearly the pasuk doesn't mean that one should cleave to Hashem, rather chazal explain that the Torah means that one should cleave to Torah scholars. This is codified by the Kitzur S"A 29:11. </ref>
# Therefore, one should try to marry the daughter of a Torah Scholar, and marry one's daughter to a Torah Scholar. <ref>Kitzur S"A 29:11 </ref>
# One should try to eat and drink with Torah Scholars, do business with a Talmid Chacham, and to attach to them in all manners. <ref>Kitzur S"A 29:11 </ref>
# The Rabbis in Pirkei Avos (1:5) advised "make one's home a meeting place for Rabbis, be attached to the dirt of their feet, and drink with thirst their words".
