Never change horses in mid stream.
Proverb
No matter how far you have gone on a road, turn back.
Proverb, Turkish
It often takes more courage to change one's opinion than to stick to it.
Geoffrey F. Abert
Just because the solutions of problems are not visible at any particular time does not mean that those problems will never be alleviated or confined to tolerable dimensions.

M. I. Abramowitz
