Positive Thoughts

[Fishmanpa]

"Until one is committed, there is always hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one element of truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans - that moment one commits oneself, then providence moves all."

- Johann von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
German Poet and Dramatist

Positive thoughts

[Fishmanpa]

"It is not then, in the glare of public, but in the shade of private life, that we are to look for the man. Private life is always real life. Behind the curtain, where the eyes of the million are not upon him...There he will always be sure to act himself: consequently, if he acts greatly (in private), he must be great indeed. Hence it has been justly said, that, 'our private deeds, if noble, are noblest of our lives'...It is the private virtues that lay the foundation of all human excellence."

- M. L. Weems (1759 - 1825)
American book agent
