Summary

This quote suggests that when faced with rapid change, relying solely on past experience may not be beneficial. It implies that what was once tried and tested may no longer apply or be effective in the face of unexpected and swift transformations. Instead, it advocates for a mindset that is open to new approaches and adaptable to evolving circumstances, as old experiences and strategies could potentially hinder progress or lead to misjudgments in such dynamic times.

Surely what a man does when he is taken off his guard is the best evidence for what sort of a man he is? Surely what pops out before the man has time to put on a disguise is the truth? If there are rats in a cellar you are most likely to see them if you go in very suddenly. But the suddenness does not create the rats: it only prevents them from hiding.

The rats are always there in the cellar, but if you go in shouting and noisily they will have taken cover before you switch on the light.

The foolish of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of god is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that may not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called, but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath choses the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. And bade things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are.
