I saw this written on a postcard in the Albertina museum in Vienna. Google tells me that it's a quote by Giuseppe Mazzini, an Italian politician, journalist and activist for the unification of Italy (no, I'd never heard of him either...).
I'd translate it as:
The secret of being able to do something lies in wanting to do it.
Seems pretty obvious. Maybe it's the reverse that I need to consider: if I am not able to do it, is it because I don't really want to? Quite possibly so...
