Tractate Pirkei Avot - Chapter 1 - Mishnah 14
הוּא הָיָה אוֹמֵר, אִם אֵין אֲנִי לִי, מִי לִי. וּכְשֶׁאֲנִי לְעַצְמִי, מָה אֲנִי. וְאִם לֹא עַכְשָׁיו, אֵימָתָי:
Comments from Bartenura on Masechet Pirkei Avot - Chapter 1 - Mishnah 14
אִם אֵין אֲנִי לִי. אִם אֵין אֲנִי זוֹכֶה לְעַצְמִי, מִי יִזְכֶּה בִּשְׁבִילִי:
וּכְשֶׁאֲנִי לְעַצְמִי. וַאֲפִלּוּ זָכִיתִי לְעַצְמִי, מַה הוּא הַזְּכוּת הַזֶּה וּבַמֶּה נֶחְשַׁב הוּא כְּנֶגֶד מַה שֶּׁאֲנִי חַיָּב לַעֲשׂוֹת:
וְאִם לֹא עַכְשָׁיו. בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה:
אֵימָתָי. כִּי אַחַר הַמָּוֶת אִי אֶפְשָׁר לִזְכּוֹת עוֹד. פֵּרוּשׁ אַחֵר, אִם לֹא עַכְשָׁיו בִּימֵי הַבַּחֲרוּת, אֵימָתַי, שֶׁמָּא בִּימֵי הַזִּקְנָה לֹא יַעֲלֶה לְיָדִי:
