Self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment. You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however. Better get a stiff neck from aiming too high than a hunch from aiming too low. Believing is one thing, doing another. Many talk like the sea but their lives are stagnant marshes.

Others raise their heads above the mountain tops, while their souls cling to the dark walls of caves The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. No, not at all. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be. If you do not do it excellently, do not do it at all.

An objective without a plan is a dream. Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision, for the limits of the world. All that is necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing.
