There are no shortcuts to any place worth going

There are no short cuts to any place worth going.

Wanderer, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more; wanderer, there is no road, the road is made by walking. By walking one makes the road, and upon glancing behind one sees the path that never will be trod again. Wanderer, there is no road — Only wakes upon the sea.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Have a goal, a destination and a clear map. If you don't know where you are going any road will take you there

If you don't know where you are going any road can take you there

There is no royal road to geometry. (μὴ εἶναι βασιλικὴν ἀτραπὸν ἐπί γεωμετρίαν, Non est regia [inquit Euclides] ad Geometriam via)

I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. ... The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth.

Road, n. A strip of land along which one may pass from where it is too tiresome to be to where it is futile to go.

Roads are a system for efficient transportation. These roads have evolved and become more efficient as problems revealed themselves.

Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect ... Your have to be your own teacher and your own disciple. You have to question everything that man has accepted as valuable, as necessary.

there are no roads in all Bohemia !

If you don’t know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere. — HENRY KISSINGER

I have never found anywhere, in the domain of art, that you don't have to walk to. (There is quite an array of jets, buses and hacks which you can ride to Success; but that is a different destination.) It is a pretty wild country. There are, of course, roads. Great artists make the roads; good teachers and good companions can point them out. But there ain't no free rides, baby. No hitchhiking. And if you want to strike out in any new direction — you go alone. With a machete in your hand and the fear of God in your heart.
