Words to live by.

A now, a word from a Dead White European Male (DWEM, in the noxious PC speak)

Until there is commitment, 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 onself,

then Providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help one that would never

otherwise have occurred.

A whole stream of events issues forth from the decision,

raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents

and meetings and material assistance which no man

could have dream 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

Goethe
