“Probably no statement attributed to Akiva is more well-known and more associated with him than this one: of the verse “love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18),”
Barry W. Holtz, Rabbi Akiva: Sage of the Talmud

“According to Josephus, Gessius Florus never omitted “any sort of violence, nor any unjust sort of punishment; . . . it was this Florus who necessitated us [the Jews] to take up arms against the Romans, while we thought it better to be destroyed at once, than by little and little” (Antiquities 20:254–57).”
Barry W. Holtz, Rabbi Akiva: Sage of the Talmud

“The clause “whose inside is not like his outside” is used elsewhere in the Talmud (b. Yoma “The Day” 72b) to indicate a person who puts on a nice show for others that does not conform to his inner, true self—a morally deceptive person in other words.”
Barry W. Holtz, Rabbi Akiva: Sage of the Talmud
