Berachot 5.5 - Rabbi Haninah Ben Dosa - a lesson in practicing to say our prayers.

This Mishna discusses the care we should take when praying. Rabbi Hanina ben Dosa was a first-century Tana and miracle-worker and the pupil of Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai. He is remembered more for his conduct than for his halakhic teachings. There are no laws quoted in his name. His popularity, however, which he enjoyed throughout his life, and which rendered him immortal among the mystics, rests not on his scholarship, but on his saintliness. "One whose fear of sin precedes his wisdom, his wisdom will endure; but where wisdom precedes fear of sin, wisdom will not endure; "Where a man's works are greater than his learning, his learning will stand; but where his learning is greater than his works, his learning will not stand"; "Whosoever earns the good-will of humanity is loved of God; but whoso is not beloved of man is not beloved of God". He prayed much, and by his prayers he is said to have effected many miracles. He lived and died in the town of Arraba in the Lower Galilee
