The life that is demanding to be born is limitless. Nature is a spendthrift. Look at the fish and their millions of eggs. For that matter, look at you and me. In our loins are the possibilities of millions of lives.

Believing is a fine thing, but placing those beliefs into execution is a test of strength.

If life did ride upon a dial's point,
Still ending at the arrival of an hour.

He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not 'studying a profession', for he does not postpone his life, but lives already. He has not one chance, but a hundred chances.
