An inscription which runs under pictures or busts [of rulers] - they do not look at it on the Sabbath. Not only so, but also on an ordinary day they do not look at the busts, since it is said, 'Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves molten gods' (Lev. 19:4). A. R. Eleazar b. R. Yose the Galilean says, 'If you see a righteous man go on a journey and you plan to go on that same journey, push up your trip for three days or postpone it for three days on his account, so that you may go on the journey with him. On what account? 'Because angels of peace accompany him'. Since it is said, 'For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways (Ps. 91:11).
