Edmund Spenser’s work reflects the religious and humanistic ideals as well as the intense but critical patriotism of Elizabethan England. This quote has been expounded upon many times in history. One of the most recent is what the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve. The magic of believing is a powerful force as many books written on that subject proves. What we know is true deep in our hearts usually becomes true, and many times reality. The power of the spoken word is equally as powerful as we are hung by the tongue.
It is the mind that maketh good or ill, that maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor.
Edmund Spenser (1552-1599)
