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 and meetings and material assistance,
which no one could have dreamed would have come their way. I have learned a
deep respect for Goethe's couplets: "Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin
it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." - W.H. Murray, "The Scottish
Himalayan Expedition"
