"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 that
would never otherwise have occured.
A whole stream of events issues
from the decision, raising in one's
favour all manner of unforeseen incidents
and meetings and material assistance,
which no (human) could have
dreamed would come his way."

-Goethe
