You can't learn too soon that the most useful thing about a principle is that it can always be sacrificed to expediency

In the world of W. Somerset Maugham, the idea that principles can always be sacrificed to expediency is a recurring theme. Maugham's characters often find themselves faced with moral dilemmas where they must choose between sticking to their principles or taking the easier, more expedient path. This conflict between principles and expediency is a central theme in many of Maugham's works, reflecting the complexities and compromises of human nature.

One of Maugham's most famous works, "Of Human Bondage," explores this theme through the character of Philip Carey. Philip is a young man who struggles to find his place in the world and grapples with his own moral principles. Throughout the novel, Philip is faced with numerous challenges that force him to confront the idea that principles can be sacrificed to expediency. Whether it is in his relationships with others or in his pursuit of his own desires, Philip must constantly navigate the tension between doing what is right and doing what is easy.
