I first heard it in training class I had at Kadena AB, Okinawa, Japan in 1981 and have not heard it since. It obviously made an impression on me to still be looking for it periodically since.

I am absolutely, 100 percent positive that many thoughts never see action. I know this to be a fact. I am also about 85 percent positive that my character is not a representation of all of my actions. I have made many mistakes but am not a failure because of them. There are actions that occur without any thought whatsoever. My breathing is done completely without thought most of the time. My heartbeat, can be controlled somewhat by action, but, my heart will beat or stop beating no matter how much I think about it. My eyes blink without any conscious thought. And there are many, many more actions that occur without thought. In my humble opinion, humans give themselves way too much credit. I do not completely disagree or agree.

If you think on something enough you will act upon them. I have ruined two lives with my thoughts of self hatred, which were put into action, habits then became a part of my (being)character. I am trying to repair the damage. I disagree. If you think on something enough you will act upon them.

When looking it up, it’s actually on a quote site directly under some Emerson quotes. Perhaps that is where the mix up occured. Anyone have any other ideas on verifying the author?
