When I do bad, I feel bad.
That's my religion.

and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.

I'd spend six hours sharpening my ax.

expecting to find it, you surely will.

I spend one-third of my time thinking about myself
and what I am going to say
and two-thirds about him and what he is going to say.
- Abraham Lincoln
