Healey’s First Law Of Holes: When in one, stop digging.

Denis Healey
About This Quote

When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. This is easier said than done, but the more you try to climb out, the wider your hole becomes. When you get stuck, if you continue digging, it will get deeper and more difficult to get out. Instead of digging your way out of the hole, just stop. Take a breather and gather your thoughts.
