Titel: Quest for Self-Knowledge

Stichwort: common sense; law, proverb

Kurzinhalt: common sense; Beispiel am Unterschied von Gesetz und Sprichwort

Textausschnitt: For this reason you sometimes find two proverbs that seem contradictory: 'Look before you leap' is directly opposed to 'He who hesitates is lost.' Which proverb is appropriate in any given situation depends on acquiring an additional insight into the concrete particular circumstances of the situation.
