The soul active sees absolute truth and utters truth or creates. Inaction is cowardice, but there can be no scholar without the heroic mind. The preamble of thought, the transition through which it passes from the unconcious to the conscious, is action. Only so much do I know as I have lived. Instantly, we know whose words are loaded with life and whose not.
Character is higher than intellect.
Thinking is the function. Living is the functionary. Fear always springs from ignorance. The world is his who can see through its pretension. What deafness, what stone-blind custom, what overgrown error you behold is there only by sufferance by your sufferance.
