Quote by Thomas Hardy

A resolution to avoid an evil is seldom framed till the evil is so far advanced as to make avoidance impossible.

A resolution to avoid an evil is seldom framed till the evil

Summary

This quote suggests that people often fail to take action to prevent something negative until it has already reached a point where it is difficult or even impossible to avoid. It highlights human nature's tendency to be reactive rather than proactive when it comes to dealing with problems or challenges. Instead of anticipating and preventing potential dangers or harmful situations, it implies that we often wait until the situation has escalated and its consequences are undeniable before taking any action. Therefore, the quote emphasizes the importance of being proactive and addressing problems early on rather than waiting until it is too late.
