>How is this to be avoided, among ordinary men, even highly educated ordinary men? Frankly, I do not know. I do not see, even now. Many times since it all happened I have pondered that pair of great maxims, Principiis obsta and Finem respice - 'resist the beginnings' and 'consider the end'. But one must foresee the end in order to resist, or even see, the beginnings.<
