    I appreciate all of these quotes. The one that speaks most to me at the moment is the Tagore one — planning is valuable, yet it can become a state of paralysis instead of a springboard to action. It seems that courage is what we need to move from the “thinking about” stage to the “doing” one. Thanks for sharing!
