“The consequences of our actions take hold of us, quite indifferent to our claim that meanwhile we have 'improved.”
“We make choices. No one else can live our lives for us. And we must confront and accept the consequences of our actions.”
“While we are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of our actions.”
“So long as we are brave enough to accept the consequences of our actions, no one can take away our freedom of choice.”
“Our sense of duty must often wait for some work which shall take the place of dilettanteism and make us feel that the quality of our action is not a matter of indifference.”
“We are free to choose our actions, . . . but we are not free to choose the consequences of these actions.”
