Make up your mind about things, by all means - but if something happens to show that you are wrong, then it is feeble not to change your mind, Elizabeth. Only the strongest people have the pluck to change their minds, and say so, if they see they have been wrong in their ideas. ↗

I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow. ↗
