Meet with a SUCCESS UNEXPECTED in common hours.

that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams,

and endeavours to live the life he has imagined,

he meet with success unexplained in common hours.

He will put some things behind,

he will pass an invisible boundary;

new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; 

or the old laws be expanded, 

and interpreted in his favour in a more liberal sense, 

and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.

- Henry David Thoreau, Walden
