Everything is possible for him who possesses courage and activity, '' she said, with a look resembling one of those heroines of the age of chivalry, whose encouragement was wont to give champions double valour at the hour of need; ``and to the timid and hesitating, everything is impossible, because it seems so. Walter Scott
About This Quote

The power of the mind is limitless. A person’s perceived limitations can be overcome by working within those perceived limitations and believing that they can accomplish great things. To the timid and hesitant, everything seems impossible because they see their goals as impossibly high. But to those who have courage and activity, everything is possible because they may not see it as possible at first, but they know that it is within their power to achieve it.
