“A famous medieval astrologer is said to have predicted the time of his own death. When the fateful hour arrived and he found himself in good health, he committed suicide lest the accuracy of his science come to be questioned. If the dietician can prove the truth of the saying that men dig their graves with their teeth, the psychologist might also add that they fill the graves with their thoughts. A brittle thing is the thread of life, and the mind can snap it, often with comparatively little effort. To set limitations upon the self, or to inhibit in any way the free action of destiny, is a grave mistake.”
Manly P. Hall
