What you feel deeply is far more important than what you are thinking. You may think about doing something for a long time and never do it, but when you feel something deeply you are spurred to act - and God acts!

A deep conviction felt is far more important than anything you could ever think.

All of that doesn't detract one bit from the validity of the principles and rules I so fearlessly put forth here, and I hope that you and your spouse heed them - with the consent of your lawyers, of course.

In the case of some historical figures, a single event or small span of years is sufficient for understanding the timeliness and extent of their impact upon the world.
