Additional quotes by Piet Hein

BRAVE

To be brave is to behave
bravely when your heart is faint.
So you can be really brave
only when you really ain't.

True wisdom knows it must comprise some nonsense as a compromise, lest fools should fail to find it wise.

The noble art of losing face
may some day save the human race
and turn into eternal merit
what weaker minds would call disgrace.
