היכי דמי אי דעביד להו דרך שטות אפי' בחדא נמי אי דלא עביד להו דרך שטות אפילו כולהו נמי לא
What is this case? If he have done them in the way of folly, even one [is enough to declare him a mentally ill person]. If he have not done them in the way of folly, even [doing] all of them are not [enough to declare him a mentally ill person].
Tractate Soferim
The words of the wise are as goads … they are given from one shepherd;1Eccles. 12, 11. and one Shepherd2[i.e. God; cf. ARN XVIII, 3, p. 105.] has uttered them. Therefore they must be saved from a fire.3Even on the Sabbath. A book of the ’aggadta, although not allowed to be written, must nevertheless be saved from a fire. What is the reason? It is a time to work for the Lord; they have made void Thy law.4Ps. 119, 126, E.V. for the Lord to work. This implies that when the welfare of the people or the preservation of the Faith requires it, a law may be temporarily suspended.
