"The history of knowledge is a great..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“It is natural to man to regard himself as the final cause of creation.”

“Nothing is more consonant with Nature than that she puts into operation in the smallest detail that which she intends as a whole.”

“Every form correctly seen is beautiful”

“Reality is infinitely diverse, compared with even the subtlest conclusions of abstract thought, and does not allow of clear-cut and sweeping distinctions. Reality resists classification.”

“Most men use their knowledge only under guidance from others because they lack the courage to think independently using their own reasoning abilities. It takes intellectual daring to discover the truth.”

“What do I consider a teacher should be? One who breathes life into knowledge so that it takes new form in progress and civilization.”

“I enclose to you a copy of the declaration of independence as agreed to by the House, and also, as originally framed. You will judge whether it is the better or worse for the Critics.”

“History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time; it illumines reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life and brings us tidings of antiquities.”

“It is neither holy, Roman or an empire.”
