some words?

"I shall no longer ask myself if this or that is expedient but only if it is right. I shall do this, not because I am noble or unselfish but because life slips away, and because I need for the rest of my journey a star that will not play false to me, a compass that will not lie.

I shall do this, because I cannot find it in me to do anything else. I am lost when I balance this against that, I am lost when I ask if this is safe, I am lost when I ask if men will approve. Therefore I shall try to do what is right, and speak what is true." by a person


Not sure if this the sorta thing to put on here. But there it tis I suppose.
