Unless 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 is the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would have never otherwise occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meeting and material assistance which no person could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic to it. Begin it now. [PDF]

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.

FYI:
The quote from W.H. Murray is apparently taken from Goethe’s longer quote. It’s almost the exact phrasing.
Otherwise, I guess I’d expected illustrations (of the author, of scenery or activities that underscored the message, or complimented it). But the idea of providing these quotes is worthwhile, so keep on with them.
Thanks!
