Quote by Calvin Calverley

Those who can, do, those who can't teach; and those who can do neither, administer.

Those who can, do, those who can't teach; and those who can

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who possess the ability and talent to successfully accomplish tasks or goals are the ones who actively engage in their work ("do"). Conversely, those who lack the ability to actually do the work themselves resort to teaching, as a way to still contribute and share their knowledge and experience. Finally, those who cannot do or teach are left with the option of administration, which involves overseeing and managing the actions of others.

The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense his life. . . . The beautiful vagabonds, endowed with every grace, masters of all climes, and knowing no bounds -- how many human aspirations are realised in their free, holiday-lives -- and how many suggestions to the poet in their flight and song!

It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.To feel it so like myself, indeed, so brotherly, made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I was happy still. For all to be accomplished, for me to feel less lonely, all that remained to hope was that on the day of my execution there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should greet me with howls of execration.
