Something to think about

It is no weakness for the wisest man

To learn when he is wrong, know when to yield.

So, on the margin of a flooded river

Trees bending to the torrent live unbroken,

While those that strain against it are snapped off.

A sailor has to tack and slacken sheets

Before the gale, or find himsel capsized . . . .

Let not your first thought be your only thought.

Think if there cannot be some other way.

- Sophocles - from Antigone





Only fools are certain and immovable.

- Montaigne -
