Translation:Mishnah/Seder Nezikin/Tractate Avot/Chapter 1/13

Introduction
This Mishnah continues the sayings of Hillel begun in Mishnah 12.

Hebrew Text
הוּא הָיָה אוֹמֵר: נְגַד שְׁמָא, אֲבַד שְׁמֵהּ. וּדְלָא מוֹסִיף, יָסֵיף. וּדְלָא יָלֵיף, קְטָלָא חַיָּב. וּדְאִשְׁתַּמֵּשׁ בְּתַגָּא, חֳלָף.

English Translation
 He [also] used to say: A name made widespread [eventually] loses its fame. And one who does not increase [his knowledge] causes [it] to decrease. And one who does not study [the Torah] is liable to die. And one who makes [unworthy] use of the crown [of learning] passes away.
