"The mortal race is far too weak..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“The public wishes itself to be managed like a woman; one must say nothing to it except what it likes to hear.”

“Who strives always to the utmost, him can we save.”

“Everything that we encounter leaves traces behind. Everything contributes imperceptibly to our education”

“Melt all the guns, I thought, break the knives, burn the guillotines-and the malicious will still write letters that kill.”

“If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man ... just watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he's a good man.”

“Men ought either to be well treated, or crushed.”

“The supreme function of reason is to show man that some things are beyond reason.”

“We are too weak to discover the truth by reason alone”

“Nobody is so constituted as to be able to live everywhere and anywhere; and he who has great duties to perform, which lay claim toall his strength, has, in this respect, a very limited choice. The influence of climate upon the bodily functionsextends so far, that a blunder in the choice of locality and climate is able not only to alienate a man from his actual duty, but also to withhold it from him altogether, so that he never even comes face to face with it.”
