The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows whither he is going.
Some men are all right in their place if they only knew the right places.
What ordinary men are directly aware of and what they try to do are bounded by the private orbits in which they live; their visions and their powers are limited.

It seems to me that man is made to act rather than to know: the principles of things escape our most persevering researches.
