More quotes by Hillel the Younger

Do not say, "when I have leisure I will study," for you may never have leisure.

A boor cannot be sin-fearing, an ignoramus cannot be pious, a bashful one cannot learn, a short-tempered person cannot teach, nor does anyone who does much business grow wise.

Do not separate yourself from the community.
