It was all right to talk about it. They made plans. They had a moment's vision, a fleeting dream. But in the end, some lack in
their moral fiber, some gnawing, nibbling fear held them back. They never started. They stayed where they were. They dropped back.
They failed somehow to release within themselves that power which lies in every individual, and is released only when he starts forward
in a straight line for the object about which he has dreamed. The man who never starts, never feels that sense of power.
