Quote by Black Elk
I think I have told you, but if I have not, you must have understood, that a man who has a vision is not able to use the power of it until after he has performed the vision on earth for the people to see.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the idea that having a vision or an idea is not enough on its own. It suggests that a person with a vision must not only conceptualize it but also take action and bring it to fruition. The quote implies that the true power and impact of a vision can only be realized when it is manifested into something tangible and observable by others. In other words, the value of a vision lies in its manifestation and execution, rather than remaining as a mere abstract concept within the person's mind.
