Verities & Balderdash

hummings and hawings
To take a long time to make a decision

action will emerge from what will otherwise be almost unending hummings and hawings

To me it's better to deliver a rough and ready slide, which can always be improved in the future.

It is wrong to believe we can see the end of the road. We can only see as far as it bends.

I see now with the accuracy of hindsight that perhaps this was not the best course of action.


Verities & Balderdash
Balderdash - old fashined word for nonsense
Verities - belief or principle about life, the world, etc., that is accepted as true: the eternal verities of life. Old use for truth.

Ambition and desire

Ambition and desire
There are those who desire something fervently. There are others who wish and long for things that to their eyes seem impossible to attain or achieve.

There are other who actually fullfill their wishes and desires.

However, the difference comes upon reaching that point when something is satisfied. For most it is the end of the journey, it is the mountain top.

But there are those, who are never satisfied. Thoses who ambition, whose thirst, hunger and lust are insatiable. Those, upon reaching the summit keep looking for something more.

Wishes and desires are ephimeral. Ambition is ever lasting. We all have unsatisfied wishes or dreams, but not all of us have ambitions. For ambition can never be satisfied since it is always replaced by a newer, higher object.

Therefore, those who wish and desire are ephemeral, and those who ambition are eternal.

The Road Not Taken

The Road Not Taken
Robert L. Frost
(1916?)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

De las ideas

En todo cerebro bien organizado, la idea dominante, y siempre hay una, es la primera que se presenta al despertarse, como es también la última que se tiene al dormirse.

Don Porfirio

Durante la guerra de Reforma Don Porfirio Díaz libró 12 batallas, fue herido de gravedad, creó una policía secreta, sufrió peritonitis, instaló una fábrica de municiones, se volvió experto en ataques súbitos y emboscadas. Pero sobre todo en manejar hombres, adivinar pasiones y ambiciones, y aprovecharlas.

"Hubo un tiempo en que no recibí ni instrucciones ni ayuda de mi gobierno, por lo que me vi obligado a pensar por mí y convertirme en gobierno".
