Søren Kierkegaard:
The path
of an honest fighter is a difficult one. And when the fighter grows
cool in the evening of his life this is still no excuse to retire into
games and amusement. Whoever remains faithful to his decision will
realize that his whole life is a struggle. Such a person does not fall
into the temptation of proudly telling others of what he has done with
his life. Nor will he talk about the “great decisions” he has made. He
knows full well that at decisive moments you have to renew your resolve
again and again and that this alone makes good the decision and the
decision good.
Making decisions is often dangerous, or rather, talking about them is.
