"There is nothing more dangerous than the repeated experience of a fine emotion with no attempt to put it into action. It is a fact that every time a person feels a noble impulse without taking action they become less likely ever to take action. In a sense it is true to say that a person has no right to feel sympathy unless they at least try to put that sympathy into action. An emotion is not something in which to luxuriate; it is something which, at the cost of effort and of toil, of discipline and of sacrifice, must be turned into the stuff of life."

-- William Barclay
