This quote by Jeff Rich is a referral to the popular soliloquy by William Shakespeare in his play Hamlet. In the soliloquy, Hamlet is debating whether he ought to take his own life. The quote is a metaphor for the difficult choices we all face in life. It is a reminder that we must make challenging options which the effects of our decisions can be far-reaching. It is a suggestion that we should weigh our alternatives carefully and make choices that remain in our best interest. It is likewise a pointer that we need to want to take threats and make bold choices in order to achieve our objectives. Eventually, the quote is a tip that we must take responsibility for our own actions and be willing to accept the consequences of our decisions.
"If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?"
