ואל תאמן בעצמך עד יום מותך; ואל תדין את חברך עד שתניע למקומו; ואל תאמר דבר אי אפשר לשמע שסופו להשמע; ואל תאמר לכשאפנה אשנה, שמא לא תפנה

(Be not sure of yourself til the day of your death; do not judge your fellow man until you have been in his position; do not say anything which cannot be understood at once, in the hope that ultimately it will be understood; and do not say: “When I shall have leisure I shall study,” for you may never have leisure.)

Hillel [הלל] (c. 110 BC–10 AD)
