I saw that, great quote. I also love its corollary, "If you are digging yourself into a hole, first stop digging."

Not sure what the word is, but I don't think its "corollary." Its the anti-corollary.
Niels Bohr: "Two sorts of truth: profound truths recognized by the fact that the opposite is also a profound truth, in contrast to trivialities where opposites are obviously absurd."
Ok, added that one to my quotations file.
yah, a corollary would end more like "dig until you get to the other side". Definitely prefer Churchill's version :)
Converse?
