From the Mishnah

Make your home a regular meeting place for the scholars; sit eagerly at their feet and drink thirstily their words.
Pirkey Avot - Ethics of the Fathers 1:4

... do not say "When I have leisure, I will study," for you may never have leisure.
Pirkey Avot - Ethics of the Fathers 2:5

Ben Zoma says:
Who is wise?
The one who learns from every person...
Who is brave?
The one who subdues his negative inclination...
Who is rich?
The one who is appreciates what he has...
Who is honored?
The one who gives honor to others...
Pirkey Avot - Ethics of the Fathers 4:1

The wise person does not speak in the presence of one who is wiser; He does not interrupt his friend's words; He does not reply in haste; He asks what is relevant, he answers to the point; He replies to questions in orderly sequence; Of what he has not heard, he says, "I have not heard"; He admits to the truth; The opposite of these typify the clod.
Pirkey Avot - Ethics of the Fathers 5:9

"Rabbi Meir taught: Whoever engages in the study of Torah for its own sake achieves a host of merits; moreover, it was worth creating the world for his sake alone. He is called: beloved friend, lover of God, lover of humanity, a joy to God, and a joy to humanity. Torah clothes him with humility and reverence; it equips him to be righteous, saintly, upright, and faithful. It keeps him far from sin and draws him near to virtue. People benefit from his counsel and skill, his understanding and strength, as it is written: 'Counsel and skill are Mine; I am understanding, strength is Mine' (Proverbs 8:14). It endows him with sover¬eignty, with authority, with power of keen judgment. The secrets of Torah are revealed to him; he becomes an effluent fountain, a never-failing stream; he becomes modest and patient, forgiving of insults; it magnifies and exalts him over all creations"
