The man who insists upon seeing with perfect clearness before he decides, never decides. Accept life, and you must accept regret.
 
[Qui veut voir parfaitement clair avant de se déterminer ne se détermine jamais. Qui n’accepte pas le regret n’accepte pas la vie.]

Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821-1881) Swiss philosopher, poet, critic
