Ironic Quotes

All of our days are numbered. We cannot afford to be idle. To act on a bad idea is better than to not act at all... because the worth of the idea never becomes apparent until you do it. Sometimes this idea can be the smallest thing in the world, a little flame that you hunch over and cup with your hand and pray will not be extinguished by all the storm that howls about it.
If you can hold on to that flame, great things can be constructed around it that are massive and powerful and world-changing... all held up by the tiniest of ideas.

— For the railroad to reach this point.
— But how could he be sure the railroad would pass through his property?

— How do you know all this?

The only knowledge that can truly orient action is knowledge that frees itself from mere human interests and is based in Ideas — in other words knowledge that has taken a theoretical attitude.
