Show How We Learn. Art is long, life short, judgment difficult, dif-ficult, occas-ion transient. To act is easy, to think Is hard; to act according to our thought is troublesome. Every beginning is cheerful; the threshold is the place of expectation. The boy stands astonished, his Impressions guide him; he learns spor fully, seriousness seri-ousness comes on him by surprise. Imitation Im-itation is born with us; what should he Imitate is not easy to discover. The excellent Is rarely found, more rarely valued. The height charms us, the steps to it do not; with the summit sum-mit in our eye, we love to walk along the plain. Goethe. |
