He used to say: Treat His will as if it were your own will, so that He will treat your will as if it were His will. Nullify your will in the face of His will, so that He will nullify the will of others in the face of your will. Hillel says: Do not separate yourself from the community. Do not believe in yourself until the day you die. Do not judge your fellow until you have reached his place. Do not make a statement that cannot be easily understood, [assuming] that it will be understood eventually. And do not say, “When I am free I will study,” for perhaps you will not become free.
