Procrastination is the thief of time. It is easier to be critical than correct. Our deeds follow us, and what we have been makes us what we are. The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it. For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together.
Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end.
Necessity never made a good bargain. We seldom attribute common sense except to those who agree with us. Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. We're supposed to be perfect our first day on the job and then show constant improvement. Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.
