| As the true knowledge is the disciplined and tested
        knowledge, -- not the first thought that comes,
 -- so the true passion is disciplined and
        tested passion,
 -- not the first passion that comes.
 The first that come are
        the vain, the false, the treacherous;
 if you yield to them they will lead you wildly and
        far in vain pursuit, in hollow enthusiasm,
 till you have no true purpose and no true
        passion left.
 ~ Ruskin ~
