Benjamin FRANKLIN
(American Savant and Politician)
«The Game of Chess is not merely an idle amusement
several very valuable qualities of the mind, useful in the
course of human life, are to be acquired and strenghtened by it,
so as to become habits ready on all occasions for life is a kind
of Chess, in which we have points to gain, and competition or
adversaries to contend with, and in which there is a vast variety
of good and ill events, that are, in some degree, the effect of
prudence, or want of it. By playing at Chess then, we may learn:
First, Foresight...
Second, Circumspection...
Third, Caution...
And lastly, We learn by Chess the habit of not being discouraged
by present bad appearances in the state of our affairs the habit
of hoping for a favorable chance, and that of persevering in the
secrets of resources.»
|
