“When a man of sense happens to be in that disagreeable situation in which he is obliged to ask himself more than once, What shall I do? he will answer himself, Nothing. When his reason points out to him no good way, he will stop short, and wait for light. A little busy mind runs on at all events, must be doing; and, like a blind horse, fears no dangers, because he sees none. Il faut scavoir s'ennuïer [One must know how to be bored].”
-- Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield, 1753
Edit: I noticed this quote and thought it applicable to the apparent state of mind of George W. Bush as he made the decision to invade Iraq.
