"All difficulties are easy when they are..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“And oftentimes excusing of a fault Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, As patches set upon a little breach, Discredit more in hiding of the fault Than did the fault before it was so patch'd.”

“These violent delights have violent ends And in their triump die, like fire and powder Which, as they kiss, consume”

“Because I cannot flatter and look fair,Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive, and cog,Duck with French nods and apish courtesy,I must be held a rancorous enemy.”

“The roots of knowledge are bitter, but its fruit are sweet.”

“Since we cannot be universal and know all that is to be known of everything, we ought to know a little about everything. For it is far better to know something about everything than to know all about one thing. This universality is the best. If we can have both, still better; but if we must choose, we ought to choose the former.”

“Maturity consists in the discovery that there comes a critical moment where everything is reversed, after which the point becomes to understand more and more that there is something which cannot be understood.”

“Most people who serve in Washington have been trained either as lawyers or as political operatives--professions that tend to place a premium on winning arguments rather than solving problems.”

“Beset by a difficult problem? Now is your chance to shine. Pick yourself up, get to work and get triumphantly through it.”

“Keep on the lookout for novel ideas that others have used successfully. Your idea has to be original only in its adaptation to the problem you're working on.”
