“I know what I’m doing.” You usually think you do. Occasionally you are correct. — Glen Cook

Even when you have your mind made up, you can’t stay blind to reality forever.

You don’t alter the past, turn the tide, or change yourself by brooding about your hidden motives. You will surprise yourself every time, anyway. Nobody ever figures out why.

Often all we need to be civil with one another is the presence of a referee we don’t want thinking us fools.
