Act

But you should act, be brave, seize life by the scruff of the neck. Believe me, little one, you should only regret inactivity, indecisiveness, hesitation. You shouldn’t regret actions or decisions, even if they occasionally end in sadness and regret.

Only if the third necessary thing could be given us. Number one, as I said, quality of information. Number two: leisure to digest it. And number three: the right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the inter-action of the first two.

I don't like people who talk too much about how everything they do is just for the sake for others. It's not true, and I don't think it would be rignt if it were true.

On the human imagination events produce the effects of time.
Thus, he who has travelled far and seen much is apt to fancy that he has lived long; and the history that most abounds in important incidents soonest assumes the aspect of antiquity.

It may be that there are other interests that come before those of the individual, but in favoring himself, he appears, as a rule, to favor others.
