Musar for Ketubot 222:2
וכן אמרו יצחק ושמעון ואושעיא אמרו דבר אחד הלכה כר' יהודה בפרדות דתניא רבי יהודה אומר פרדה שתבעה אין מרביעין עליה לא סוס ולא חמור אלא מינה
And they also said, “Yitzchak, Shimon and Oshaya all said that the halakhah is in agreement with R. Judah with regard to mules. For it was taught: R. Yehudah says: If a mule demanded [sex] it must not be mated with a horse or a donkey but [only with one of] its own species.
Shemirat HaLashon
And also in the category of supporting Torah scholars is wedding one's daughter to a Torah scholar. As Chazal have said (Kethuvoth 111b), that [if one weds his daughter to a Torah scholar], it is as if he were to cleave to the Shechinah. And, as written in Pesachim 49a: "One should [if necessary] sell everything he has and wed the daughter of a Torah scholar and wed his daughter to a Torah scholar, so that if he dies or is exiled, [at least] his sons will be Torah scholars."
