Rabbi [Yehudah HaNassi] said: Which is the right path that a man should choose for himself? That which is honorable to himself and brings him honor from man. Be as careful in [the performance of a seemingly] minor mitzvah as of a major one, for you do not know the reward given for the mitzvot. Consider the loss [incurred in the performance] of a mitzvah against the reward [earned by its observance], and the gain [derived] from a sin against the loss [that will follow].
