Kosiyajātaka

Suttapiṭaka · Khuddakanikāya · Jātaka (1) · Vol. 27 · Section 301

[301] Setting out at the right time is good; setting out at the wrong time is not good; for to one who has set out at the wrong time, though he be all alone, the multitude brings about no good whatsoever — even as the army of crows to the owl.
