- Sallust
About this Quote
This quote by Sallust motivates us to believe before we act. It is essential to put in the time to consider the consequences of our actions prior to we decide. We need to make the effort to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of our options and think about how our actions will impact ourselves and those around us. Putting in the time to consider our choices can help us make the best choice for ourselves and those around us. As soon as we have made the effort to consider our options, it is then time to act. We should not be reluctant to take action once we have thought through our decisions. This quote advises us to put in the time to think before we act, and to act once we have actually considered our options.
