The importance of earning a living
- Regardless of a person's stature, everyone must toil for their living. This was a result of Adam's sin and the subsequent curse put on mankind.[1]
- It is better to resort to embarrassing work in public than to rely on gifts from people for one's living.
- ↑ Bereshit 3:19, Pesachim 118a
