As the plant springs from, and could not be without, the seed, so ever… — As a Man Thinketh
SAPIR 861
As the plant springs from, and could not be without, the seed, so every act of a man springs from the hidden seeds of thought, and could not have appeared without them. This applies equally to those acts called "spontaneous" and "unpremeditated" as to those, which are deliberately executed.
