Second thoughts oftentimes are the very worst of all thoughts.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When we have 'second thoughts' about something, our first thoughts don't seem like thoughts at all - just feelings.
First thoughts are not always the best.
Our best thoughts come from others.
Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.
I realised quite early that by the time I articulate my thoughts into words, I'm on to another thought. And what comes out wasn't what I thought of exactly. So not talking was a better option.
It is not my mode of thought that has caused my misfortunes, but the mode of thought of others.
There are thoughts we must not think.
Among mortals second thoughts are wisest.
It is often said that second thoughts are best. So they are in matters of judgment but not in matters of conscience.
We often repent of our first thoughts, and scarce ever of our second.
