    —Variously Ascribed.

    The formulation was used as a motto by the English Nonconformist clergyman Richard Baxter (1615-1691)

    The slogan offers a counterweight to the general dispersion of thought by holding it fast to a single, utterly succinct and unforgettable expression, one which usually inspires men to immediate action. It abolishes reflection: the slogan does not argue, it asserts and commands.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
