Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone here and there who thinks and feels with us, and though distant, is close to us in spirit - this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden

The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, river

Summary

This quote emphasizes the significance of human connection and how it adds meaning and life to the world. While natural beauty surrounds us, it alone is insufficient to combat feelings of emptiness. It is the presence of individuals who understand us, empathize with our emotions, and despite physical distance, share a deep spiritual connection with us, that truly makes the world feel alive and enriches our existence. With such connections, even the vast expanse of the earth becomes a vibrant and flourishing garden, full of inhabitants who contribute to our sense of belonging.

Like all things in the universe, we are destined from birth

Like all things in the universe, we are destined from birth to diverge. Time is simply the yardstick of our separation. If we are particles in a sea of distance, exploded from an original whole, then there is a science to our solitude. We are lonely in proportion to our years.

Competition between footmen gave way during the second half

Competition between footmen gave way during the second half of the 18th century to men racing against time over long distances. 'Pedestrians' (as the walkers were called) could win a very handsome fee for walking dozens -- or even hundreds -- of miles within a proscribed time. Side bets were, of course, very welcome.One of the more popular goals involved covering at least 100 miles in less than 24 hours. Those meeting this goal were (and still are) called Centurions.(quoted by Phil Howell in A Brief History of Racewalking in the United States, North American Racewalking Foundation)

INNOVATION is the specific tool of entrepreneurs, the means

INNOVATION is the specific tool of entrepreneurs, the means by which they exploit change as an opportunity for a different business or a different service. It is capable of being presented as a discipline, capable of being learned, capable of being practiced. Entrepreneurs need to search purposefully for the sources of innovation, the changes and their symptoms that indicate opportunities for successful innovation. And they need to know and to apply the principles of successful innovation.
