I adore tradition. I cannot stand habit. Simply to repeat is nothing, also to destroy is nothing. Tradition is never interrupted, we are always evolving but never interrupted.
Tradition simply means that we need to end what began well and continue what is worth continuing
Each country is strong on some tradition.
Tradition implies authority, conformity, imitation, following.
I'd rather be at the end of a dying tradition, which I admire, than at the beginning of a tradition which I deplore.
Oh yes. And a great many of them still do.
Tradition, if not constantly recreated, can be as much a millstone as a mill-wheel.
