Context: I will act now. Never has there been a map, however carefully executed to detail and scale, which carried its owner over even one inch of ground. Never has there been a parchment of law, however fair, which prevented one crime. Never has there been a scroll, even such as the one I hold, which earned so much as a penny or produced a single word of acclamation. Action alone is the tinder which ignites the map, the parchment, this scroll, my dreams, my plans, my goals, into a living force. Action is the food and drink which will nourish my success.
I will act now.
“The expense of a monument is superfluous; my memory will endure if my actions deserve it.”
Impensa monumenti supervacua est; memoria nostri durabit, si vita meruimus.
Pliny the Younger (61–113) Roman writer
