To comprehend a man's life, it is necessary to know mot merely what
he does but also what he purposely leaves undone. There is a limit
to the work that can be got out of a human body or a human brain,
and he is a wise man who wastes no energy on pursuits for which he
is not fitted; and he is still wiser who, among the things that he
can do well, chooses and resolutely follows the best.
-- William Gladstone
