Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.

To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage

Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.

What you are comes to you

Life wastes itself while we are preparing to live

Why should we be cowed by the name of Action?...The rich mind lies in the sun and sleeps, and is Nature. To think is to act.
