Panel 10 "Philosopher's Touch" Panel of 1087 beads
About this section: The "Philosopher's Touch" was made using countless letter beads to form actual quotes from famous people. Here they are, in order: 1.) Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. George Santayana, Life of Reason 2.) Quod bonum est, bonos facit. (Translated: That which is good makes men good.) Seneca, Epistulae Ad Cucilium 3.) Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. Albert Einstein, Notes on Pacifism 4.) Therefore the sage while clad in homespun conceals on his person a priceless piece of jade. Lao Tsu 5.) Ich habe viel in der Welt versucht und immer dasselbe gefunden. (Translated: I have tried much in this world but always found the same.) Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre, 1. Buch 6.) One day, with life and heart, is more than time enough to find a world. James Russell Lowell, Columbus 7.) The pearl is a disease of the oyster. A poem is a disease of the spirit caused by the irritation of a granule of truth fallen into that soft gray bivalve we call the mind. Christopher Morley, Bivalves 8.) Demut kennt nicht der matte, feige, schwankende Mann, sondern nur der kraftvolle, mutige und entschlossene. (Translated: Humility is not known by the weak, cowardly, wavering man, but only by the strong, courageous and resolving one.) Perthes 9.) I am free from desire and the people of themselves become simple like the uncarved block. Lao Tsu 10.) L'amour n'est pas tous, mais sans l'amour tout est rien. (Translated: Love is not everything, but without it everything is nothing.) French proverb 11.) Forgiveness is better than revenge, for forgiveness is the sign of a gentle nature, but revenge the sign of a savage nature. Epictetus, Fragments No. 68 12.) No man can justly censure or condemn another, because indeed no man truly knows another. Sir Thomas Browne, Religio Medici, pt 11, sec. 4 13.) Thou shalt sleep in thy clouds, careless of the voice of the morning. MacPherson, Ossian: Address to the sun The beads on this panel have not been dedicated yet.
