Quote by Friedrich von Schiller

It is easy to give advice from a port of safety.

It is easy to give advice from a port of safety.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is much simpler to offer guidance or opinions when one is removed from the situation or conflict. When someone is in a safe or comfortable position, they may not fully understand or appreciate the challenges or complexity of someone else's circumstances. Thus, their advice or judgments may lack empathy or practicality. In order to truly understand the nuances of a situation, it is important to put oneself in the shoes of those experiencing it firsthand.

When we talk about Oscars, it's almost as a symbol of excellence, and the American public and the worldwide public accept that symbol. So, a movie like 'The Artist' that costs $14 million, has to go out and compete with movies that cost $140 million. How does David deal with Goliath?
