The longer a man's fame is to likely to last, the later it will be coming for all excellent products require time for their development -> false fame is like a fungus shooting up in a night and perishing as soon. -> important works remain in obscurity until they receive notice from intelligence of a high order, by whose influence they are brought into a position which they then maintain, in virtue of the authority thus given them. -> DAs gluecklichste Wort wird verhoehnt, wenn der Hoerer ein Schiefohr ist -> Du wirkest nicht, alles bleibt so stumpf: Sei guter Dinge ! der Stein im Sumpf macht keine Ringe. -> Masters should consider the nature of their pupils and taking it for their guide, direct and prompt them in the way that their wit and natural inclination moveth them unto. -> Pestilent curiosity does always give an ill grace unto all things.-and contrary-wise simplicity and recklessness a marvelous good graces. _> Writing is nothing else but a manner of speech -> what is allowed in writing is also allowed in speaking. -> Do you not know that figures of speech which give such grace and brightness an oration are all the abuse of grammar rules ? -> ... and to the very sense of our ears it appeareth they bring a life and sweetness ! ... sword or any other waster -> when a head and a book comes into collision and one sounds hollow, is it always the book ? -> works like this are as a mirror, if an ass looks in you cannot expect an apostle to look out. -> Nie kennen sie den Wert der Dinge, ihr Auge schliesst, nicht ihr Verstand, sie loben ewig das Geringe, weil das Gute nie gekannt -> Merit is obtained at the cost of those who posses none. -> -> Wenn wir andern Ehre geben, muessen wir uns selbst entadeln -> Haette ich gezaudert zu werden, bis man mir's Leben gegoennt, ich waere noch nicht auf Erden, wie ihr begreifen koennt, wenn ihr seht, wie sie sich geberden, die, um etwas zu scheinen, mich gerne moechten verneinen. Some people obtain fame, others deserve it. Fame is not a certain symptom of merit, because you can have without the other.. Light is not visible unless it meets with something to reflects it,... and talent is sure of itself only when its fame is noised abroad. -> Honor has not to be won, it must only not be lost. For a single unworthy action, it is gone irretrievably -> fame in a proper sense of the word can never disappear for the action or work by which it was acquired can never be undone -> fame attaches to the author -> fame means nothing but what a man is in comparison with others. -> The only thing that counts is what a man possesses under any and all circumstances. Here, what a man is directly and in himself. -> Aristotle says:   The free exercise of any power whatever it may be is happiness -> Goethe says: The man who is born with a talent which he is meant to use, finds his greatest happiness in using it. -> Painful struggle for existence <-verses-> boredom -> intense temperament, vivid ideas, intense emotions, great intellectual power -> more susceptible than the average Joe to be the prey -> The old testament says: The life of a fool is worse than death. In wisdom is much grief and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. -> As a courtier keep this lesson in mind: To be always wary in this and every other point, and rather fearful than bold, and beware that he persuade not himself falsely to know the thing he knoweth not indeed.. Better be renewed than be renown. -> Aristotle:Nichomachean Ethics, Voltaire: There are no real pleasures without real need, Seneca: Illiterate leisure is a form of death, a living tomb. -> A man never feels the loss of things which it never occurs to him to ask for. -> Money alone is absolutely good, because it is not only a concrete satisfaction of one need in particular, it is an abstract satisfaction of all. -> Arabian proverb: Joke with a slave, and he'll soon show his heels. -> Actions (great heart) are fleeting, weak and disfigured by time -> Works (great head) immortal in themselves and once committed to writing may live forever. Inception does not depend upon chance, but wholly and entirely upon the author. -> A philistine is a person who is not a son of the muses, people who are always seriously occupied with realities which are no realities, a man without mental needs, no intellectual pleasure, because no real pleasure, no real needs. No desire to gain knowledge and insight for their own sake or to experience that true aesthetic pleasure which is so nearly akin to them. -> Horses-Italian, Close Combat-French, Spears and darts-Spain -> People are always swayed by authority, and where fame is widespread, it means that ninety-nine out of a hundred take it on faith alone. What excites admiration, must have more value than the admiration itself.. It is only work done from the heart that ever gains the laurel. -> Let him set all his delight and diligence to wade in everything a little farther than other man, so that he may be known among all men for one that is excellent. And to use in everything a certain recklessness to cover art withal, the true fountain which all graces springeth.

-> Revealing the already present by removing the excess matter of what obscures it -> realizing the potential within the medium itself -> good Architecture gives more moments in life where our senses obtain a higher degree of clearness on physiological grounds alone as the result of enhanced state of susceptibility...then working from within outwards -> these things stay impressed upon the memory and preserve themselves in their individuality entire. -> intoxication enhances the memory of what is past -> color, smell, hearing...VISION

-> The speaker arguing about something -> advancing his reasoning -> advancing his REASON -> then limiting their implications -> then driving them home -> drawing the conclusion in triumph. In speaking a gesture must come immediately BEFORE the word by announcing its approach and attracting the hearer's attention. Derive IDEAS directly from REAL LIFE and shape them in conformity with it. To acquire a knowledge of the world might be defined as the aim of all education, but opinion alone is out of all proportion to its value. Fantasy is nourished much the same way as the body. Pleasure and pain are an affair of the will and the will is not possessed of memory. Memory is a function of the intellect. A good imagination makes it easier to learn (example: languages), a new word is immediately with the object it refers to. If there is no imagination it is simply put on a parallel with the equivalent word into the mother tongue. Man is a compound of needs and necessities hard to satisfy. It is only in the microscope that our life looks so big. It is an indivisible drawn out and magnified by the powerful lenses of time and space. INDIVIDUALITY is NOT ! a form of PERFECTION but rather a limitation. P.-> remarks that nothing in human affairs is worth any  great anxiety. This condition is due to the intellect having got the upper hand in the domain of consciousness, freed from mere service to the will.

-> Die Schwelle is ein Bruch in der Kontinuitaet, LOW LEVEL management hat die Kontinuitaet aufrecht zu erhalten und den Fluss der Kontinuitaet zu gewaehrleisten. TOP LEVEL management hat diese Kontinuitaet zu verbessern und Verbesserungen durchzusetzen.

-> Something and nothing coexist to make form-each has a shape for which the other is ground-this fact is a major aesthetic principle in architecture, graphics and music. (and in life of course as well) -> Buildings consist of an interplay between something-a physical material, or object or area of information-and nothing-the emptiness and space in between. -> together they define shape and meaning. -> Whatever building-> it must respond to the needs and schedules of the occupants making he building intelligible to its users -> always first a clear definition of all "must be" functional areas -> in fractional geometry order is generated by the rough equivalence in form between parts and the whole (example: form of the leaf-form of the tree) -> The average man is biased by his lack of universality, by a kind of provincialism tending in the end to monotony and sterility. -> Symbols cannot be the reflections of cosmic rhythms as natural phenomena for a symbol always reveals something more than the aspect of cosmic life, it is THOUGHT to represent. -> die Frage wo ist der Gral, wo ist das Zentrum, die integrale Frage, jeder Mensch braucht, sucht danach. -> jedes Gebaeude, alles vom Menschen geschaffene (viele Zentren, von Bett bis Bad bis...), auch verschiedene Ebenen, immer Zentren. Science and Art are the two highest achievements of man -> they can represent or replace each other.

-> Life is a misery, to escape/change...a powerful diversion of interest (which leads us to care little about our misery) -> substitute gratification (which lessens it) -> intoxicating substances (which makes us insensitive to it) -> a mans personal religion (patently infantile-incongruous with reality)-explanation of the riddle of the world with doctrines and pledges, pledges for shortcomings redeemed in a future world -> vehicle is the great exalted father. Ladder symbolizes death&resurrection-descent into hell followed by ascension on to heaven. ->unreal, up real to the EXIT *g* -> Movement consists of a series of discontinuities -> profane life (time)|| GATE (difficult passage-razor's edge || transcendence, liturgical time -> cutting across the planes, divides related but contrary forces -> leading to the supreme knowledge -> "ESCAPE FROM TIME" remains the royal road to deliverance.
