Additional quotes by Harry Emerson Fosdick

No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No stream or gas drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled.

One of the widest gaps in human experience is the gap between what we say we want to be and our willingness to discipline ourselves to get there.
