It is never too late to give up our prejudices. No way of thinking or doing, however ancient, can be trusted without proof. What everybody echoes or in silence passes by as true to-day may turn out to be falsehood to-morrow, mere smoke of opinion, which some had trusted for a cloud that would sprinkle fertilizing rain on their fields.--Henry David Thoreau, Walden
Thank you, YKWIA, for a wonderful Hanukkah present. I'm enjoying Thoreau immensely, although I haven't gotten that far into his writings yet. :)
