“One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time.”
― John Wanamaker

“How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnish’d, not to shine in use!
As tho’ to breathe were life!”
― Alfred Lord Tennyson, Ulysses

“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.”
― Anatole France, Works of Anatole France

“Art thou afeard
To be the same in thine own act and valour
As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that
Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life,
And live a coward in thine own esteem,
Letting 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would,'
Like the poor cat i' the adage?”
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth
