Whenever we do what we can, we immediately can do more.
James Freeman Clarke
Progress, in the sense of acquisition, is something; but progress in the sense of being, is a great deal more.

The man strongly possessed of an idea is the master of all who are uncertain or wavering. Clear, deep, living convictions rule the world.
