Additional quotes by Piet Hein

Put up in a place
where it is easy to see
the cryptic admonishment
T.T.T

When you feel how depressingly
slowly you climb
it's well to remember that
Things Take Time.

Men, said the Devil, are good to their brothers: they don’t want to mend their own ways, but each other's.

Those who always
know what’s best
are
a universal pest.
