Gregory the Great: He who fails to reflect before acting, walks with his eyes shut and advances…

He who fails to reflect before acting, walks with his eyes shut and advances with danger. He also falls very often, because the eye of reflection does not enable him to see whither his footsteps lead.

In today’s wordsWhoever fails to reflect before acting walks with eyes shut and advances into danger. He also falls often, because without reflection he can't see where his steps lead.
