“The problems of victory are more agreeable than the problems of defeat, but they are no less difficult.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“Govinda said: “Still, oh Siddhartha, you love a bit to mock people, as it seems to me. I believe in you and know that you haven’t followed a teacher. But haven’t you found something by yourself, though you’ve found no teachings, you still found certain thoughts, certain insights, which are your own and which help you to live? If you would like to tell me some of these, you would delight my heart.” Quoth Siddhartha: “I’ve had thoughts, yes, and insight, again and again. Sometimes, for an hour or for an entire day, I have felt knowledge in me, as one would feel life in one’s heart. There have been many thoughts, but it would be hard for me to convey them to you. Look, my dear Govinda, this is one of my thoughts, which I have found: wisdom cannot be passed on. Wisdom which a wise man tries to pass on to someone always sounds like foolishness.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“ The challenge now is to develop human history as a science. ”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“ "Study the past if you would define the future."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“Words are acoustical signs for concepts; concepts, however, are more or less definite image signs for often recurring and associated sensations, for groups of sensations. To understand one another, it is not enough that one use the same words; one also has to use the same words for the same species of inner experiences; in the end one has to have one's experiences in common.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
