A Quote by Gautama Buddha
The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings.

Finally, in some cases words are put into action, and you have what you call a result; a physical world manifestation of what all started with a thought.
