No idea should ever end in the garbage of ideas. If others reject your idea, you don’t discard it. Keep it alive in your heart and mind and give it time; with time, it will grow in the hearts and minds of people.

Remember: if one idea was unwelcome in the past, it may be welcome now, and if it is unwelcome now, it may be welcome in the future.

And because history has no moral, the moral of this story is: hold to your idea no matter what your idea is. And so, as a newborn may one day become the nation’s president, your discarded idea may, one day, become the next philosophy to follow.

Every idea is recycling material.
