"Which form of proverb do you prefer Better late than never, or Better never than late?"
- Lewis Carroll
About this Quote
This quote by Lewis Carroll is asking which proverb the reader prefers. The first saying, "Better late than never," recommends that it is better to do something late than refrain from doing it at all. This saying motivates people to act, even if it is refrained from doing in a prompt way. The 2nd saying, "Better never ever than late," suggests that it is much better to not do something than to do it late. This proverb motivates individuals to be prompt and to take duty for their actions. Both proverbs have their benefits and can be used to motivate people to act or to be accountable. Eventually, it is up to the reader to decide which saying they choose.
