The battle isn't always to the strong, as we learned
in History. The weak have their weapons too. They
come and collapse on you, like defeated nations, and
you have to take care of them. "Oh! What shall I do
now?" they cry. So you tell them what. (...) Then
they go and do it, and whatever happens after that
is your responsibility. I've had to make myself a
rule: never give advice to anyone.

often so much governed by what they are accustomed
to see and practice, that the simplest and most

ensured by an adherence to ancient courses, and
perhaps even longer.

derpå, og deres dumheder, som hersker i det og
som nok vil sørge for, at det en smuk dag
ikke eksisterer mere, de piner mig som uret

interesser, sig selv? Hvorfor har de, som arbejdede,
altid ladet sig bruge af dem, der kun talte?
