Mishnah for Nedarim 78:2
אמר ריש לקיש רמז לביקור חולין מן התורה מנין שנאמר (במדבר טז, כט) אם כמות כל האדם ימותון אלה ופקודת כל אדם וגו' מאי משמע אמר רבא אם כמות כל האדם ימותון אלה שהן חולים ומוטלים בעריסתן ובני אדם מבקרים אותן מה הבריות אומרים לא ה' שלחני לזה

Pirkei Avot
Rabbi Said: which is the straight path that a man should choose for himself? One which is an honor to the person adopting it, and [on account of which] honor [accrues] to him from others. And be careful with a light commandment as with a grave one, for you did know not the reward for the fulfillment of the commandments. Also, reckon the loss [that may be sustained through the fulfillment] of a commandment against the reward [accruing] thereby, and the gain [that may be obtained through the committing] of a transgression against the loss [entailed] thereby. Apply your mind to three things and you will not come into the clutches of sin: Know what there is above you: an eye that sees, an ear that hears, and all your deeds are written in a book.
