"
Until
one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to
draw back,
always ineffectiveness. Concerning all
acts of initiative and creation,
there is one elementary truth the
ignorance of which kills countless
ideas and splendid plans: that the moment
one definitely commits
oneself, then providence moves too. All
sorts of things occur to help
one that would never otherwise have
occurred. A whole stream of
events issues from the decision, raising
in one's favor all manner of
unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance which no
man could have dreamed would have come
his way. Whatever you
can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and
magic in it. Begin it now. "

if unfair, keep
from irritation; if it is ignorant,
smile; if it is justified it is not
criticism, learn from it."

" By
starving emotions we become humorless, rigid and
stereotyped;
by repressing them we become literal,
reformatory and holier-than

discouraged, they poison it. "

" I
know we're not saints or virgins or lunatics; we know
all the lust and
lavatory jokes, and most of the dirty people;
we can catch buses and
count our change and cross the roads and talk
real sentences. But our
innocence goes awfully deep, and our
discreditable secret is that we
don't know anything at all, and our horrid
inner secret is that we don't
care that we don't"
