For thoughts are things, and their airy wings
Are swifter than carrier doves.
They follow the law of the universe,—
Each thing must create its kind;
And they speed o’er the track to bring you back
Whatever went out from your mind.”
Do the duty which lies nearest thee, which thou knowest to be a duty. Thy second duty will already have become clearer.
—Carlyle.
We need a revival of the individual. The question is not, What are they doing?—but, What am I doing? Not, Why do you not do this, that, or the other?—but, Why am not I doing this, that, or the other?
—Jenkin Lloyd Jones.
