Khoja Nasreddin addressed the crowd with the words:
- People, do you want knowledge without overcoming difficulties, truth without error, achievement without effort, advancement without sacrifice?
Everyone shouted: “We want it, we want it!”
“Wonderful,” said Nasreddin. “I want to too, and if I ever find out how to do it, I’ll be happy to tell you.”
