I have had this quote in my "collection" for years, and always had it associated with Goethe. There is even a "quotable magnet" what uses part of the passage it and credits him: http://www.fridgedoor.com/beitgoblca.html (I have it on my fridge!). Thank you for your research and clarification.

I just want to make sure the quote gets credited correctly though. It's not actually Goethe. The link below takes you to the Goethe Society which has tracked down W. H. Murray as the writer (who quotes John Anster's translation of Goethe at the end). See below: http://www.goethesociety.org/pages/quotescom.html From W. H. Murray, The Scottish Himalaya Expedition, 1951 "But when I said that nothing had been done I erred in one important matter. We had definitely committed ourselves and were halfway out of our ruts. We had put down our passage money--booked a sailing to Bombay. This may sound too simple, but is great in consequence. Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, the providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets: Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!" Hi – Great post.
