Let us search the old highways.

About This Quote

We can’t jump back in time and re-enact the old days, but we can look at the old highways and try to emulate what was done there. Some of the best things we did back then were done by trial and error. These old highways are good places to learn from, because they’ve already been tried. We shouldn’t reinvent the wheel every time we make a change, but rather look at the old path to see how it was done.
