504. Methods Vs. Principles

There are millions of methods but only a few principles. "The man who tries methods and ignores principles is on his way to trouble." -Ralph Waldo Emerson.

No one method is permanently infallible. Times change, methods improve or deteriorate but principles will always be true. If you choose do do something one way today because every step of the method conforms to a principle, it will not be the right way tomorrow because the circumstances will have changed. You should always adapt your methods to conform to the principle under which the task is governed.
