Mishnayos Avos Perek 6 Mishnah 7

For it gives life to those who do it: He eats its fruits in this world, and the principle is preserved for him in the world to come.

"For they are life for those that find them": - do not read for those that find them (motsaeihem), but rather those that bring them out (motsieihem) with the mouth, in this world.

and it says,... "and tonic to your bones": that it should moisten you bones in the grave. And it says, "It is a tree of life to those who hold it": in the next world. And lest you say, he will merit life, but who is there to say that he will merit wealth - as behold, there are people that are destined for poverty, for which death is more beloved than life - therefore, it says that, "For they are an accompaniment of grace for your head, and a necklace for your throat" - what is the thing that brings a person to find grace in the eyes of [other] people? You would say that is money. And lest you say, they will give you money, but he will not be honored among people; therefore it says, "with a crown of glory she will protect you." And lest you say, even if he did not study for its own sake, he will merit these things; therefore it says, "Length of days is in her right hand" - for those that [approach] it from the right (Shabbat 63a) - that learn for its own sake; [such a one] has length of days and - it is not necessary to say - wealth and honor. "in her left": for those that [approach] it from the left, they will give him wealth and honor, but not long life. And lest you say that [the one who learns Torah for its own sake] merits life and wealth, but not peace; therefore it says, "and peace will be added to you."
