Don’t attempt to camouflage your real blame by taking more than your share. - Lois McMaster Bujold

Well, one couldn't help one's thoughts. One could help opening one's mouth and saying something really stupid, though.

The really unforgivable acts are committed by calm men in beautiful green silk rooms, who deal death wholesale, by the shipload, without lust, or anger, or desire, or any redeeming emotion to excuse them but cold fear of some pretended future. But the crimes they hope to prevent in that future are imaginary. The ones they commit in the present—they are real.

Anything worth achieving is worth overachieving.
