A Thought

A thought has no size in the physical sense but is vast as compared to the physical acts and objects into which it is later precipitated.  The power of a thought is enormous and superior to all the successive physical acts, objects, and events that body forth its energy.  A thought often endures for a time much greater than the whole life of the man who thought it.
