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.

Whatever you can do
Or dream you can, begin it.

Boldness has genius,
Power and magic in it.

Begin it now!

Goethe
