THINK BEFOREHAND

Think beforehand .
To-day for to-morrow, and even for many days hence. The greatest foresight consists in determining

the most formidable difficulty. The pillow is a silent Sibyl, and it is better to sleep on things beforehand
than lie awake about them afterwards. Many act first and then think afterwards–that is, they think less
of consequences than of excuses: others think neither before nor after. The whole of life should be one
course of thought how not to miss the right path. Rumination and foresight enable one to determine the
line of life.
