“It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, "Always do what you are afraid to do.”
“Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little coarse and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice? Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.”
“What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.”
“Judge of your natural character by what you do in your dreams.”
“Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your best self. There is something which you can do better than another. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that. Do the things at which you are great, not what you were never made for.”
“Do not say things. Who you are thunders over you all the while so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary.”
