Thought is the seed of action; but action is as much its second form as thought is its first. It rises in thought, to the end that it may be uttered and acted. Always in proportion to the depth of its sense does it knock importunately at the gates of the soul, to be spoken, to be done.

Ralph Waldo EmersonThe young man reveres men of genius, because, to speak truly, they are more himself than he is.
Ralph Waldo EmersonEvery great and commanding movement in the annals of the world is due to the triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it
