Until one is committed, there
is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all
acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance
of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one
definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to
help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events
issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen
incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed
would have come his way. Scottish
