This comes at you from an article called "A Public Servant of the Northwest: The Fruitful Career of the Late Governor John S. Pillsbury, of Minnesota" in the December 1901 issue of
The American Monthly Review of Reviews:
his impulse always was : " Act ; act now ; act effectively ; act for the greatest good." He belonged to the type of man who "does things."
You know, that's easier said than done. Because I'm an "act now" sort of person . . . but I can tell you that my sort of "acting now" isn't always terribly effective and it's practically never for the greater good . . .
ReplyDeleteI, too, dabble in the lesser good.

ReplyDeleteThat's better than being a man who "does" "things".
