“Any plan conceived in moderation must fail when the circumstances are set in extremes.”
—Klemens Wenzel Neponuk Lothar Von, Prince Metternich (1773–1859)
“The whole world is an omen and a sign. Why look so wistfully in a corner? Man is the Image of God. Why run after a ghost or a dream? The voice of divination resounds everywhere and runs to waste unheard, unregarded, as the mountains echo with the bleatings of cattle.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
