Aphorism #91 Never set to work at anything if you have any doubts of its Prudence

A suspicion of failure in the mind of the doer is proof positive of it in that of the onlooker, especially if he is a rival. If in the heat of action your judgment feels scruples, it will afterwards in cool reflection condemn it as a pieceof folly. Action is dangerous where prudence is in doubt: better leave such things alone. Wisdom does not trust to probabilities; it always marches in the mid-day light of reason. How can an enterprise succeed which the judgment condemns as soon as conceived? And if resolutions passed nem. con. by inner court often turn out unfortunately, what can we expect of those undertaken by a doubting reason and a vacillating judgment?http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?d=yIl2AUoC8zA (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?a=qgXyocLmEgw:hTqIhtZp2AU:yIl2A UoC8zA) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?d=qj6IDK7rITs (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?a=qgXyocLmEgw:hTqIhtZp2AU:qj6ID K7rITs)

Don't jump the gun unless you are certainly meaningful. When in doubt, realize that your enemy has much more expertise, busy as you are with making sense rather than opposing anyone with philosophical babbling. Skipping an idiot's argument spares thousands of useless endeavors of mind over matter.
