A Truth For These Time?
Do not separate yourself from the community;
Do not be sure of yourself until the day of your death;
Do not judge your fellow man until you find yourself in his place;
Do not say anything that cannot [presently] be understood because [you believe] it will ultimately be understood.
And do not say, "When I will have leisure, I will study": perhaps you will never have leisure.
Hillel, Pirkei Avot, 2:5

Do not say anything that cannot [presently] be understood because [you believe] it will ultimately be understood. (but plant seed trusting the Lord will produce a harvest)
And do not say, "When I will have leisure, I will study": perhaps you will never have leisure. (seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness)
