Resting on your laurels is as dangerous as resting when you are walking in the snow. You doze off and die in your sleep. - Ludwig Wittgenstein (Culture and Value Quotes)

Resting on your laurels is as dangerous as resting when you are walking in the snow. You doze off and die in your sleep.[Auf seinen Lorbeeren auszuruhen ist so gefährlich, wie auf einer Schneewanderung ausruhen. Du nickst ein, und stirbst im Schlaf.]
