Tao Bible - Proverbs 29:1

He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
~ King James version ~

The person who doesn't learn from their mistakes is apt to repeat them.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
I don't know about you, but I think it's a bit extreme to threaten people with destruction for their foolishness. We each stumble frequently as we wend our way through life. The wise learn from their missteps and the foolish tend to repeat them. Each of us plays the role of the wise AND the fool.

If nothing else, those of us who misstep frequently have a greater opportunity to learn!
