"Most of us actually stifle enough good impulses during the course of a day to change the current of our lives. These inner flashes of impulse light up the mind for an instant; then, content in their afterglow, we lapse back into routine, feeling vaguely that sometime we might do something about it or that at least our intentions were good.
In this we sin against the inner self, for impulses set up the lines of communications between the unconscious mind and daily action."
William Moulton Marston
"Every time a resolve or fine glow of feeling evaporates without bearing fruit it is worse than a chance lost; it works to hinder future emotions from taking the normal path of discharge."
William James
