Thoughtful Actions

"Happy day, when, all passions subdued, all matters subjected, mind, all conquering mind, shall live and move the monarch of the world. Glorious consummation! Hail fall of fury! Reign of reason, all hail!" - Abraham Lincoln

In other words: Think before you act! Follow the mob at everyone's peril. Doing what feels good in the short run, whether to satisfy a pang or an anger, often leads to defeat in the long run.
