Franz Kafka

There are two main human sins from which all the others derive: impatience and indolence.

On account of impatience they are driven out, on account of impatience they do not turn back.

And they said, 'Oh, they cancelled this other show right before their lunch.' And I said, 'Throw that food away! We don't want to touch that food! There's no way I'm eating it!' So I never root for anybody, because it could happen to you in two seconds.

Greg Gutfeld
