Quote by Rene Descartes
English (Source)
I managed (...) to be firm and determined in my actions as much as I could; once I have made up my mind about something, I follow even the most doubtful opinions as if they were the most certain. So does the traveler; if he is lost in the forest, he must not wander to and fro, turning to one direction and then to another; still less should he remain in one place; but he must always go as straight as possible in one direction, and this direction, although he may have chosen it by chance at first, must not leave it for any reason; even if he doesn't get where he wanted to go, he will eventually get somewhere where he'll probably have better things to do than in the woods.
