Le devoir,
dans le sens plein du mot,
suppose une délibération à part soi,
dont tout dépend,
sans aucune contrainte. [Alain]
*
[Duty,
in the full sense of the word,
supposes a deliberation apart from oneself,
on which everything depends,
without any compulsion.]
*
You are free to do or not do
what your deepest instincts tell you.
Failure is inevitable;
but it’s a choice to still believe,
and to try again,
and to give again where it’s difficult to give,
to risk a smile, or a word,
to put yourself where you fear to go,
to dare
and to refuse to think,
but only to act what you feel.
Gray Haskins
