Pirkei Avot §avot_06_05: Do not seek greatness for yourself, and do not covet honor.
pirkei avot
Do not seek greatness for yourself, and do not covet honor. Practice more than you learn. Do not yearn for the table of kings, for your table is greater than their table, and your crown is greater than their crown, and faithful is your employer to pay you the reward of your labor.
