Conviction, be it ever so excellent, is worthless till it converts itself into conduct. Doubt of any sort can be removed but by action. Do the duty which lies nearest thee; then thy second duty will seem clearer.
Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be
clever;
Do noble things, not dream them all day
long;
And thus make life, death, and the vast forever,
One grand, sweet song.
The secret of success is constancy to purpose.
