The Talmud tells that when the sages asked him to what he attributed his long life, he answered with the conduct of his house — that he had never lost his temper in his home, never walked ahead of a greater man, never thought Torah thoughts in an unclean place, and never rejoiced at another's downfall. It is one of the passages in which the Talmud shows what learning was expected to produce.
