What is the source of the quote “In man, motivation derives from consciousness, which, in turn, comes from socialization. Motivation is the source of moral energies like dedication, devotion, determination, faith, frugality, diligence, and simplicity. Consciousness and inspiration reinforce each other and can be transformed, one into the other”, please?
