I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty, than those attending too small a degree of it.

Before the end of October, 1839, I had an opportunity of selling out my stock of goods to a couple of English merchants, which relieved me from the delays, to say nothing of the inconveniences attending a retail trade: such, for instance, as the accumulation of copper coin, which forms almost the exclusive currency in petty dealings. Some thousands of dollars' worth are frequently accumulated upon the hands of the merchant in this way, and as the copper of one department is worthless in another, except for its intrinsic value, which is seldom more than ten percent of the nominal value, the holders are subjected to a great deal of trouble and annoyance.
Josiah Gregg
My God, my God, who am I attending to? How many am I? Who is me? What is this interval between me and me?
Fernando Pessoa
But as far as a drop-off [of fans attending events], I haven't seen anything different.
Brimstone
By attending to the conscious part of ourselves, we contribute to the peace of others as well as ourselves.
Warren Farrell
Every man hath a good and a bad angel attending on him in particular, all his life long.
