Very nice quote, Loopy. I agree and would add that sometimes, maybe many times, we should also begin some things we really want to do but are not SURE we can do. Unless we try… And if we never try… And it seems that most of the time we can do more than we thought, and sometimes, maybe many times, more than we ever imagined. 😉
Nicely chosen Loopy. I find it very satisfying too when one locates a quote that captures the feeling in just that right way, as the one you have found with Herr Goethe, for instance. That sometimes illusive, nascent sensation that we get when there is something just on our horizon, ready to, well, you know…it’s best described in sayings like this quote from one of our more modern philosophers…
