Rabindranath Tagore

"The tendency of the mind is economical: it loves to form habits and move in grooves which save it the trouble of thinking anew at each of its steps. Ideals once formed make the mind lazy. It becomes afraid to risk its acquisitions in fresh endeavors. It tries to enjoy complete security by shutting up its belongings behind fortifications of habits... Their real freedom is not within the boundaries of security, but on the high road of adventures, full of the risk of new experiences."
