The Talmud contains a similar statement, ""He who humbles himself, him will God elevate; he who elevates himself, him will God humiliate. He who runs after greatness, from him greatness will flee; he who flees from greatness, him will greatness follow" (’Er. 13a). [Jewish Encyclopedia]

• Hillel said: "Remove from thy place two or three rows of seats and wait until they call thee back" (Lev. R. i.). [Jewish Encyclopedia]
