Quote by Geoffrey F. Abert

When you take charge of your life, there is no longer need to ask permission of other people or society at large. When you ask permission, you give someone veto power over your life.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of personal empowerment and autonomy. It suggests that by taking ownership of one's life, there is no longer a need to seek validation or approval from others. Seeking permission or approval from others allows them to potentially dictate and control one's choices and decisions. Instead, by taking charge and making independent choices, an individual is not giving others the power to influence or veto their personal path. It encourages individuals to trust their own judgments and have the confidence to take control of their lives on their own terms.

I'm well-travelled so I can see places coming up. I went to St. Croix in the West Indies at Christmas and it had been hit by a really bad tornado. Values there have gone down but I guarantee they will be up again in eight years. So I'll get in now while it's cheap as chips.

Time advances: facts accumulate; doubts arise. Faint glimpse

Time advances: facts accumulate; doubts arise. Faint glimpses of truth begin to appear, and shine more and more unto the perfect day. The highest intellects, like the tops of mountains, are the first to catch and to reflect the dawn. They are bright, while the level below is still in darkness. But soon the light, which at first illuminated only the loftiest eminences, descends on the plain, and penetrates to the deepest valley. First come hints, then fragments of systems, then defective systems, then complete and harmonious systems. The sound opinion, held for a time by one bold speculator, becomes the opinion of a small minority, of a strong minority, of a majority of mankind. Thus, the great progress goes on.

Thomas Babington Macaulay
