Even though I didn’t get around to publishing until Tuesday!
This seemed particularly apt this week for a number of reasons. It comes from Henry David Thoreau’s classic book “Walden”
“I say, beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes. If there is not a new man, how can the new clothes be made to fit? If you have any enterprise before you try it in your old clothes. All men want, not something to do, or rather something to be. Perhaps we should never procure a new suit, however ragged or dirty the old, until we have so conducted, so enterprised or sailed in someway, that we feel like new men in the old, and that to retain it would be like keeping new wine in old bottles.”
