일단 계획한 일은

                                                                                                                                                    셰익스피어

                                                                             That we would do,
                                 We should do, when we would, for this "would"
                                 changes,
                                 And hath abatements and delays as many
                                 As there are tongues, are hands, are accidents.

                                                                                (Hamlet 4.7.118-121)

                                 일단 계획한 일은 당장에 실행해야한다네.
                                 글쎄 ‘하겠다’는 마음 자체도 변하게 마련이고,
                                 더구나 세상 사람들의 입과 손과 사건 등에 좌우되어
                                 실행력은 약해지고 지체되곤 하니까 말일세.

                                                                        (『햄릿』4막7장 118-121
