General Theodor Busse

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or theodor:

    The world can doubtless never be well known by theory: practice is absolutely necessary; but surely it is of great use to a young man, before he sets out for that country, full of mazes, windings, and turnings, to have at least a general map of it, made by some experienced traveller.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Not a single man on earth knows from his own experience the how and where of his birth, only from tradition, which is often very uncertain.
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
