Too often we think we can act without explaining and take decisions without justifying them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Circumstances cause us to act the way we do. We should always bear this in mind before judging the actions of others. I realized this from the start during World War II.
Sometimes, people aren't as consciously aware of their decisions as they should be.
Our everyday lives are filled with complex decisions. We long for simplicity and ordinariness.
We are people in circumstances who make choices that we think are right at the time.
We still by no means think decisively enough about the essence of action.
Life is made up of constant calls to action, and we seldom have time for more than hastily contrived answers.
I think people have all faced decisions at times where you never know.
Every action needs to be prompted by a motive.
We have the duty of formulating, of summarizing, and of communicating our conclusions, in intelligible form, in recognition of the right of other free minds to utilize them in making their own decisions.
It is an endless and frivolous Pursuit to act by any other Rule than the Care of satisfying our own Minds in what we do.
