"To blow is not to play on..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“That I be not as those are who spend the day in complaining of headache and the night in drinking the wine which gives the headache!”

“While man's desires and aspirations stir he cannot choose but err.”

“One can stand anything except a succession of ordinary days”

“The implements to him who can handle them.”

“It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.”

“There is nothing that saps one's confidence as the knowing how to do a thing”

“The astonishment of life is the absence of any appearances of reconciliation between the theory and the practice of life.”

“He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.”

“Reading is learning, but applying is also learning and the more important kind of learning at that. Our chief method is to learn warfare through warfare. A person who has had no opportunity to go to school can also learn warfare — he can learn through fighting in a war.”
