Pity that consequences are determined not by excuses but by actions!
People who go about looking for trouble usually find it.
Our own acts are isolated and one act does not buy absolution for another.
One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one!
Nothing is worth doing unless the consequences may be serious.
Murder’s out of tune, and sweet revenge grows harsh.
Life was all about consequences.
Let the wrong which is done by a man stay there where the wrong was done.[τὸ ἐκείνῳ ἁμαρτηθὲνἐκεῖ κατάλιπε ὅπου ἡ ἁμαρτία ὑπέστη.]
I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot… when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result.
He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.
Great floods have flown from simple sources; and great seas have dried when miracles have by the greatest been denied.
Do not spread the compost on the weeds to make them ranker.
