And there is the fickle man who is constantly recalling his decisions and deciding all over again; he is obviously the greatest failure and the most unhappy man of the lot.
–Eugene Victor Legaren, Subconscious Power–The Secret of Achievement, 1926
Love you, Vincent D’Onofrio.
[T]he prince must consider…how to avoid those things which make him hated or contemptible….It makes him contemptible to be considered fickle, frivolous, effeminate, mean-spirited, irresolute, from all of which a prince should guard himself as from a rock.
—Nicolo Machiavelli, The Prince
(At least I think it’s Spanish moss…)
