Thought is the seed of action; but action is as much its second form as thought is its first. It rises in thought to the end that it may be uttered and acted. Always in proportion to the depth of its sense does it knock importunately at the gates of the soul to be spoken to be done.
I am willing to accept thoughts I read when I have had similar ones myself. I am more willing to accept my own thoughts than those I read. Yet having a new thought is not an action intended in advance; we dont set ourselves to have that specific new thought. If our own thoughts just come to us unbidden why should we be less receptive to ones that come through reading? Perhaps because we spontaneously have only those thoughts to which we are already receptive. This may lead me to miss out on learning from those who can teach me most those who think in a way completely different from mine. Unfortunately however my trust in them cannot grow in the way described so I continue to read them from an adversary stance.
The man who bases his actions on independent thought; who reflects and considers before doing anything and whose judgments are arrived at through logic is the man who will go farthest today.
Anyone who says you cant see a thought simply doesnt know art.
The greatest events of an age are its best thoughts. Thought finds its way into action.
Thought is the original source of all wealth all success material gain all great discoveries and inventions and of all achievement.

Thought is perhaps the forerunner and even the mother of ideas and ideas are the most powerful and the most useful things in the world.
