"Not art and science only, but patience..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“To quit smoking, you must first want to quit, but then you must also do the quitting”

“The follies of the wise man are known to himself, but hidden from the world.”

“And we went our separate ways without having understood each other. As in this world nobody understands the other easily.”

“However you make your living is where your talent lies.”

“Avoid studies of which the result dies with the worker.”

“I am once more seated under my own vine and fig tree ... and hope to spend the remainder of my days in peaceful retirement, making political pursuits yield to the more rational amusement of cultivating the earth.”

“Like every beginner, I have thought you could beat, pummel and thrash an idea into existence. Under such treatment, of course, any decent idea folds up its paws, turns on its back, fixes its eyes on eternity, and dies.”

“To lose patience is to lose the battle.”

“If you are wholly perplexed and in straits, have patience, for patience is the key to joy.”
