Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 13:10

μὴ ἔμπιπτε, ἵνα μὴ ἀπωσθῇς, καὶ μὴ μακρὰν ἀφίστω, ἵνα μὴ ἐπιλησθῇς.
King James Version (KJV)

Press thou not upon him, lest thou be put back; stand not far off, lest thou be forgotten.

Modern English

Do not push yourself on him, or you'll be pushed away; but do not stand too far off either, or you'll be forgotten.
