Reflection Quotes

“Ah! but the moods lie in his nature, my boy, just as much as his reflections did, and more. A man can never do anything at variance with his own nature. He carries within him the germ of his most exceptional action; and if we wise people make eminent fools of ourselves on any particular occasion, we must endure the legitimate conclusion that we carry a few grains of folly to our ounce of wisdom.”

“We move forward, treading carefully, assessing the fault lines; the red flags; the triggers, the trigger-happy destroyers, and the destruction left in their wake; and the seers and the vigilant doers as well, those trying to stem the tide of authoritarianism and dictatorship. We continually assess when and how to protest; when and how to silently stand strong; when to retreat; and if and when we must run. All must be reflected on, new findings factored in, continually assessed and re-assessed... Talk about what's happening--it helps. Weigh your options, for yourself and those you love--it helps. Weigh your options for taking action and making a difference if you can--it helps. Make contingency plans--it helps. Fear nothing.”

“If people challenge the vagaries of life, in a world where conflicting powers are outlining our fate, it may be ill-advised to actuate wrecking high-wire acts without a safety net. If they need a new swing in their reality, they cannot count on sheer luck. Whatever their exploit may be, reflection and action must be ingrained allies, on all accounts.("Ruling the waves" )”
