Small things grow mighty, if they are skillfully combined. Blades of grass
will make a rope to bind a raging elephant.

Life is a sum of all your choices. -Albert Camus

Every experience in life, everything with which we have come in contact in
life, is a chisel which has been cutting away at our life statue, molding,
modifying, shaping it. We are part of all we have met. Everything we have
seen, heard, felt, or thought has had its hand in molding us, shaping us.
-Orison Swett Marden (1848-1924)

There is no mind absolute or free will, but the mind is determined for
willing this or that by a cause which is determined in its turn by another
cause, and this one again by another, and so on to infinity.
-Benedictus de Spinoza, 1673

DETERMINISM: Determinism is the philosophical proposition that every event,
including human cognition, decision and action, is causally determined by an
unbroken chain of prior occurrences.
