"The art of governing is a great..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Distance... is like futurity. A dim vastness is spread before our souls; the perceptions of our mind are as obscure as those of our vision... But alas! when we have attained our object, when the distant 'there' becomes the present 'here,' all is changed; we are as poor and circumscribed as ever, and our souls still languish for unattainable happiness.”

“On every mountain height is rest.”

“We know accurately only when we know little, with knowledge doubt increases.”

You could say that about a politician or you could say that about a head of a major corporation or what have you. The people you surround yourself with it's very important.”

“To rule a country of a thousand chariots, there must be reverent attention to business, and sincerity; economy in expenditure, and love for men; and the employment of the people at the proper seasons.”

“The people starve because those above them eat too much tax-grain. That is the only reason why they starve.”

“Take the ideas of the masses and concentrate them, then go to the masses, persevere in the ideas and carry them through, so as to form correct ideas of leadership-such is the basic method of leadership.”
