As the true knowledge is the disciplined and tested
knowledge,
-- not the first thought that comes,
-- so the true passion is disciplined and
tested passion,
-- not the first passion that comes.
The first that come are
the vain, the false, the treacherous;
if you yield to them they will lead you wildly and
far in vain pursuit, in hollow enthusiasm,
till you have no true purpose and no true
passion left.
~ Ruskin ~
