"Human reason so delights building that it has several times built up a tower and then razed it to see how the foundation was laid. It is never too late to become reasonable and wise; but if the knowledge come late, there is always more difficulty in starting to reform." (p4)
This quote is very interesting to me for a couple reason. First, how often do we truly do this? How often do we look back at our past and utilize it for our future. So many times mistakes can be avoided because they have happened before, but we have not learned from them. Why don't we do this more? Second, what is the point where reform is impossible? Is there really a point where you can reverse the damage?
