As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust by Alan Bradley

4.0

Three in one: a holy trinity of truth, righteousness, and quick thinking.

In times of torture, even a defiant thought can serve as a soothing salve.

Well begun is half done - only 50% - but there is a satisfaction in making a firm decision which is surely closer to 90-95%.
Making up your mind brings a relief; which "well begun" can't even come close to.
