Don:
I'm not sure of your source of the Hillel quote, but I have never seen it that way and I haven't found it on the web that way. The version I'm familiar with:
If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
But if I am only for myself, what am I?
And if not now, when?
It dates to the first or second century of the common era.
