nedarim 81

rabbis' sons are notorious for treating the torah and the community like dirt.

and dirty clothes can drive one to madness.

this page asks a great question, often asked in jewish communities. why are rabbis' sons such jerks? (actually, the question is why Torah scholars are born to paupers and not to Torah scholars) the answer is that rabbis' sons are arrogant, and take advantage of their father's status in the community and don't respect the Torah. Also on this page is the discussion about the importance of laundry, because dirty clothes can cause madness. 

nedarim 62

a scholar shouldn't use his crown to gain honours and privileges in this world.

except for taking the first portion and not paying taxes.

The Talmudic rabbis warn against using their Torah knowledge, their learning should be done for it's own sake and not become something that is a means to a living, honours etc. Their's is a special work, and unlike other workers, these rabbis rule that Torah scholars are exempt from all sorts of taxes.

shabbat 139

when society crumbles, look to the leaders and officials for who to blame.
and to the torah scholars who keep the corrupt judges, and people, in ignorance.

and know when and how to filter out the dregs.

(this page continues the discussion about Torah being forgotten and holds Torah scholars do not teach properly, only teach selectively, and keep the judges, and people in ignorance. later in the page is taught the prohibition of filtering the dregs from wine on Shabbat. selecting, choosing one over the other.  In the drawing there are 3 seated figures, a bet din, a Jewish tribunal is usually made of 3 seated judges. for english translation of this talmud page, see here)

shabbat 114

who wears the spotless clothing?

R. Yohanan: the ones who deal with the letter of fire. the torah scholars
Reish Lakish: the ones who deal with water: the bath attendants

fire and water divide them again.

(following R Yochanan statement that clothing = honour, there is a discussion about torah scholars should be well dressed, without stains or patches. R. Yohanan interprets the word 'builders' to be Torah scholars - Torah is said to be written in black fire on white fire, and the hebrew lettering is called 'the flame alphabet.' Reish Lakish interprets the word 'builders' to be the bath attendants, as they are meticulous in their clothing. This pair, who met while R. Yohanan was bathing, and R. Yohanan turned Reish Lakish into a torah scholar, fatally argued over a knife, was it completed in fire or water. for english translation of this talmud page, see here)
