Remarks to Henry Hyndman a few weeks before his death (c. March 1881), quoted in H. M. Hyndman, The Record of An Adventurous Life (1911), pp. 244–245

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "It is a very difficult country to move, Mr. Hyndman, a very difficult country indeed, and one in which there is more disappointment to be looked for than success." in the context of "Remarks to Henry Hyndman a few weeks before his death (c. March 1881), quoted in H. M. Hyndman, The Record of An Adventurous Life (1911), pp. 244–245" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
