We are responsible for what we are.
Whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions,
it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in the future
can be produced by our present actions.
So we have to know how to act.
Do not go where the path may lead;
go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
