put into effect
This is a sentence from a paragraph in a book about learning to write at beginning level. Unfortunately for the life of me I cannot locate that sentence. Sincerely hope the lack of context or exactness doesn't irritate anyone, but in case it does I apologize.
It's a quote from someone famous (Early American writer I think) in the paragraph goes something like this: "Genius is put into effect what is in your mind."
Does the phrase in bold mean specifically "to put into words"? Thanks.
