With all humility, I think, Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. Infinitely more important than the vain attempt to love one's neighbor as one's self. If you want to hit a bird on the wing, you must have all your will in focus, you must not be thinking about yourself, and equally, you must not be thinking about your neighbor: you must be living in your eye on that bird. Every achievement is a bird on the wing.

    Ich denke, mit aller Demut, was auch immer deine Hand tut, tue es mit deiner Macht. unendlich wichtiger als der vergebliche Versuch, den Nächsten als sich selbst zu lieben. Wenn Sie einen Vogel auf den Flügel schlagen wollen, müssen Sie Ihren ganzen Willen im Fokus haben, Sie dürfen nicht an sich selbst denken und Sie dürfen auch nicht an Ihren Nachbarn denken: Sie müssen in Ihrem Auge auf diesen Vogel leben . Jede Leistung ist ein Vogel auf dem Flügel.
