Summary

This ancient proverb implies that it is better to take precautionary measures beforehand, as they are easier and more effective in avoiding problems or challenges, instead of trying to solve them later on. Just like an ounce of prevention (early actions) is more valuable in preventing a problem, an ounce of effort or precaution can save one from needing a pound (a significantly greater amount) of cure (remedial action) later. This proverb highlights the importance of proactive thinking and preparation to minimize the impact of potential issues.

The hatred of the youth culture for adult society is not a disinterested judgment but a terror-ridden refusal to be hooked into the, if you will, ecological chain of breathing, growing, and dying. It is the demand, in other words, to remain children.

One cannot but wonder at this constantly recurring phrase getting something for nothing, as if it were the peculiar and perverse ambition of disturbers of society. Except for our animal outfit, practically all we have is handed us gratis. Can the most complacent reactionary flatter himself that he invented the art of writing or the printing press, or discovered his religious, economic, and moral convictions, or any of the devices which supply him with meat and raiment or any of the sources of such pleasure as he may derive from literature or the fine arts? In short, civilization is little else than getting something for nothing.
