Ideas by themselves cannot produce change of being; your effort must go in the right direction, and one must correspond to the other.
P.D. OuspenskyRead
Yet when we achieved, and the new world dawned, the old men came out again and took our victory to remake it in the likeness of the former world they knew. Youth could win, but had not learned to keep: and was pitiably weak against age. We stammered that we had worked for a new heaven and a new earth, and they thanked us kindly and made their peace.
