"Be great in act, as you have been in thought."

I think that this quote means that whatever you think you should do or should be done, you should perform it and carry it out just as well as you imagined and thought about it.

This quote makes me think about everything we think we should be doing, and how we all talk about it and how we should all be doing it, but never go through with it.

It takes a long time to think about how everything will be done, but once you decide to do what you've been thinking about, you're excited, but second guessing. You know it's the right thing and something you really want to do but you cant seem to get yourself do do it. Suddenly the great plan you had in your mind, doesn't seem so great and your no longer so eager.

I think that if your going to all of the trouble of thinking out this whole deal, you should carry through with it.

"Be great in act, as you have been in thought." Carry out your plans. Not everything you think about has to be done, but everything you think about and do, should be done just as good as you thought about it.

When everyone talks about how everyone should be doing all this stuff to help our society, they should really just be doing it. All the time, people just take all their lives to talk about how we should do this, and we should help them. Really they should carry out all of their thoughts.

Are you someone that just thinks?
