The persons born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it. Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start a winning game. Talent develops in tranquillity, character in the full current of human life. There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action. We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe. Live dangerously and you live right. Correction does much, but encouragement does more. To know someone here or there with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts expressed that can make life a garden. Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it. Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, grace and power in it. |
