Play Ground Background

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Die Natur hat immer Recht, während Fehler und Irrtümer be made by the people. It sounds

but each only what he understands.

opponents believe us to refute by repeating our opinion and not paying attention.

There are many people who imagine what they learn, they understand it.

It is with the counselors own thing, and if you have seen for some time in the world as the smartest things and the absurd often fail to a happy objectives, so you'll come back like this to give someone advice to do. Basically, it is also the one who gives a presumption. (To JPEckermann on 02/13/1831)

One must keep repeating the truth, also because the error is being preached around us again and again. And not from individuals but from the crowd. What do you

processes at the shoe, is growing at twice the spirit.

Convinced that the papers are really just there to amuse the crowd and dazzle of the moment, be it that the editor prevents an external force, truth to tell, or that an internal party sense to him just the same forbid, las I no longer, because of the major events Notify me of news funny friends ... (Day and Annual Reviews, 1808)

When a few months the newspapers have not read, and then you read them together, it appears only wieviel Zeit man mit diesen Papieren verdirbt. (Maximen und Reflexionen)

Gebraucht die Zeit, sie geht so schnell von hinnen! Doch Ordnung lehr euch Zeit gewinnen. (Faust 1, 1808)

Wenn ich die Summe von dem Wissenswerten in so mancher Wissenschaft, mit der ich mich mein ganzes Leben hindurch beschäftigt habe, aufschreiben wollte, das Manuskript würde so klein ausfallen, daß Sie es in einem Briefkuvert nach Hause tragen könnten. (zu J.D.Falk am 28.02.1809)

The weak thread that runs from the sometimes so broad fabric of knowledge and science through the ages, even the darkest and most confused, constantly go away, is led by individuals. These are born in a century as in the other of the best art and always behave in the same way against every century, in which they occur. They are namely the quantity, in contrast, even in conflict.

If a seventy-five is missing, it may not know that he sometimes think of death. This thought leaves me in complete silence, for I am firmly convinced that our mind is a being completely indestructible nature, it is a continuous-acting forever and ever. It is like the sun, which seems only to drown in our earthly eyes, but never really goes down, but continued lit continuously. (To Eckermann on 05/02/1824)

Truth is a torch but a tremendous, so we all look just blinked evolving towards past it, afraid even to burn us. (Maxims and Reflections)
