Additional quotes by Piet Hein

Hvis man regner med belønning for sin godhed, er det ikke godhed, men beregning.

MAKING AN EFFORT
Our so-called limitations, I believe,
apply to faculties we don't apply.
We don't discover what we can't achieve
until we make an effort not to try.

It isn't enough to exasperate others. You have to remember to gladden yourself!
