הוּא הָיָה אוֹמֵר: כָּל שֶׁרוּחַ הַבְּרִיּוֹת נוֹחָה הֵימֶנּוּ, רוּחַ הַמָּקוֹם נוֹחָה הֵימֶנּוּ. וְכָל שֶּׁאֵין רוּחַ הַבְּרִיּוֹת נוֹחָה הֵימֶנּוּ , אֵין רוּחַ הַמָּקוֹם נוֹחָה הֵימֶנּוּ. רַבִּי דּוֹסָא בֶּן הַרְכִּינָס אוֹמֵר: שֵׁנָה שֶׁל שַׁחֲרִית, וְיַיִן שֶׁל צָהֳרַיִם, וְשִׂיחַת הַיְלָדִים, וִישִׁיבַת בָּתֵּי כְנֵסִיּוֹת שֶׁל עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ, מוֹצִיאִין אֶת הָאָדָם מִן הָעוֹלָם.

Chapter 3 / Mishnah 10 - Pirkei Avot translated into english

He used to say: one with whom men are pleased, God is pleased. But anyone from whom men are displeased, God is displeased. Rabbi Dosa ben Harkinas said: morning sleep, midday wine, children’s talk and sitting in the assemblies of the ignorant put a man out of the world.

Description / commentaries - Pirkei Avot - Mishnah 10 - Chapter 3

He was wont to say: All in whom the mind of men find pleasure, the mind of G-d finds pleasure. [All who are beloved below are, of a certainty, beloved on High]. And all in whom the minds of men do not find pleasure, the mind of G-d does not find pleasure. R. Dossa ben Harkinass says: Morning sleep [i.e., sleeping until the time of the recitation of Shema has passed], and afternoon wine, [which "pulls" the heart of man, viz. (Koheleth 2:3): "To pull my flesh with wine," and which brings him to drunkenness], and children's talk, [which prevents their fathers from studying Torah], and sitting in the synagogues of the ignorant, [who congregate to speak vanities] take a man from the world.
