My son, listen to me. Any man Can make a mistake, or commit a crime. The man who can recognise what he has done, See that he was mistaken, or morally wrong, Admit it, and put it right, that man Proves that it is never too late to become Wise, and no one will condemn him. But if he compounds his stupidity With stubbornness, and an obstinate refusal To face the facts, he is nothing but a fool. Is there anyone more stupid than the stupid man Who cannot see his own stupidity?
