When life still hesitates to touch us, when neither duty nor guilt dares lay a hand upon us

In deliberation we may hesitate; but a deliberated act must be performed swiftly

A writer’s job is to make the ordinary extraordinary, to reveal the magic hidden in everyday life.

I am now considered such a monster, that I hesitate to darken with my shadow, the doors of those I love, lest I should bring upon them misfortune.

Tis so much joy! ‘Tis so much joy! If I should fail, what poverty! And yet, as poor as I Have ventured all upon a throw; Have gained! Yes! Hesitated so This side the victory!

A leader who doesn’t hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.

Teach me to feel another’s woe, to hide the fault I see, that mercy I to others show, that mercy show to me.

Joy is not made to be a crumb. (Don’t Hesitate)

If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it…It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.
