Finish Him
Ep. 42
•
This week's Proverb comes from Goethe: “Man’s good intentions, resolutions that always succumb to ingrained habit, are like the cleaning, scrubbing and adorning that we practice on Sundays, holidays, and feast days. We always get dirty again, to be sure, but such a partial cleaning process has the advantage of upholding the principle of cleanliness.”
Join Joshua Gibbs as he contemplates what this Proverb has to say for modern men and women.
