“An expensive watch will not save you time unless you recognize the value of time.”

“An EXPERIENCE happens. Someone comes from a foreign country and for a while an experience happens. IT is about the experience, not the set of rules, laws and dogmas that results from the experience. A whirlwind appears for a while and then leaves. People then seek to copy the experience of the whirlwind by waving little fans. It is not possible to artificially preserve whirlwinds. Do not become spiritual taxidermists trying to preserve a dead animal. Do not accept the lifeless FORM for the dynamic CONTENT!”

“An experience is an encounter of mind with world, neither of these ever simple or wholly perspicuous. Often commonplace on the surface, experience shows itself, especially when we trace its roots to the remote domains of the unconscious, uncooperative, evasive, taciturn; the creature of ambiguous impulsions and unresolved conflicts, it often sows confusion and compels drastic misreadings. Far more than simply providing occasions for the stereotyped exercise of thoughts and action, experiences participate in creating the object of interest and passion; it gives form to the inchoate wishes and defends against besetting anxieties.”

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 definately commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I have learned a great respect for one of Goethe's couples:
"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!"
A whole stream of events ... which no man could have dreamt would have come by his way”
