Composure is a quality of the brave.
It is during composure that all good resolutions are made, which lead to
profitable achievements.
It is also by virtue of composure alone that one is able to lay down the
premises of that reasoning that one finds at the foundation of all enterprises
that have in them the potentiality of success.
Without composure no deduction can bethought out that will be in the least worth
while, and it is from such deductions that success always takes its beginnings.
It is more important than one might think not to begin one's effort by making a
failure in some undertaking.
Unsuceess is a factor of discouragement for those spirits which have not been
tempered in the fires of energy, and their discouragement takes possession of
them the more easily for the reason that they have not in themselves the
strength to fight against events, in which it pleases them to perceive the
workings of a mysterious and adverse power.
Patience, in prohibiting all indications of nervousness, imposes upon us
continuity as well as frequency of effort.
But it must be borne in mind that perseverance is nothing else but the will to
make this effort, the reiteration of which makes the continuity.
Patience also enables us to estimate things under the aspect that they really
possess.
It says no to the inrush of considerations of passion, and, a necessary
corollary of these, the biased judgment of partiality.
It is patience also that enables us to choose with discernment, and to carry out
with clearness and method the actions that reason has counseled us to perform.
Activity is indispensable to the man who wishes to be persevering.
"We have spoken already of that false enthusiasm which too often assumes the
name of activity, but is nothing more, in reality, than the satisfaction of an
exaggerated desire for movement.
Really effective activity does not expend itself in this or that direction.
It never wastes a minute over things that are of no use.
It attempts only those things which, thanks to its power, are susceptible of
being brought to a fruitful development.
Division of effort is always the result of activity that has been misdirected.
Many centuries have passed since "Union is strength" was said for the first
time, and this maxim, in its journey down to us through the ages, has lost
nothing of its truth and of its applicability.
Poise enables us to put to practical purposes the resolutions that we have been
able to conceive of during moments of composure, and that patience has permitted
us to develop slowly and surely until they were ripe for action.
