"One would like to press forward, but before going farther one sees from the example of others like oneself
that this way is blocked. In such a case, if the effort to push forward is not in harmony with the time, a
reasonable and resolute man must not expose himself to a personal rebuff, but will retreat with others of
like mind. This brings good fortune, because he does not needlessly jeopardize himself."
