To be wise, the only thing you really need to know is when to say “I don’t know.”

“He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian.’
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispian’s day.’
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.”

Somewhere the hurting must stop.

pro·cras·ti·nate : to put off till another day or time; defer; delay.

Procrastination is like masturbation. At first it feels good, but in the end you’re only screwing yourself.

I MUST stop screwing myself.

Yet another quote from CSI season 3.

Greg Sanders: That’s right and you know my grandfather was tossed from Norway for getting my grandmother pregnant before they got married. To this day he still tells me “Som man reder sa ligger man”.

Greg Sanders: One must lie in the bed one has made.

Idealism is what precedes experience; cynicism is what follows.
