This was from a YouTube video about a camera. The man was using street photography to demonstrate the camera and he came upon this man sitting on the pavement in London.
The man gave the quote I used in my last post and said that it was told to him by his mother.
The photographer then asked the man what happened, [i.e. did the man make use of this piece of wisdom].
There was a long pause and the man wistfully replied, "I thought".
