“As a single footstep will not make a path on earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path,
we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.”
Henry David ThoreauSlide10
