ACT NOW

One must learn to bear with oneself.
—Henrí de Toulouse-Lautrec

No, I must keep to my own style and

go on in my own way; and though I

may never succeed again in that, I am

convinced that I should totally fail in

any other.

—Jane Austen

No man who values originality will ever

be original. But try to tell the truth as you

see it, try to do any bit of work as well as

it can be done for the work's sake, and

what men call originality will come unsought.

—C.S. Lewis

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy,

the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.

Concerning all acts of initiative (or 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

otherwise have never occurred. A whole stream

of events issues from the decisions raising in

one’s favor all manner of incidents and meetings

and material assistance which no man would have

believed would have come his way. Whatever

you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it.

Action has magic, grace and power in it.
—Goethe
