“Pity that consequences are determined not by excuses but by actions!”
“Bitterness, principle of your determination, your mode of action, and understanding, is the one fixed point in your oscillation between disgust for the world and self-pity.”
“Self satisfaction alone cannot determine if a desire or action is positive or negative. The demarcation between a positive and a negative desire or action is not whether it gives you a immediate feeling of satisfaction, but whether it ultimately results in positive or negative consequences.”
“Don't use your past as an excuse, excuse your excuses and take action now!!!”
“Actions have consequences. Ignorance about the nature of those actions does not free a person from responsibility for the consequences. (28)”
“When you choose an action, you choose the consequences of that action. When you desire a consequence you had damned well better take the action that would create it.”
