"Every day look at a beautiful picture,..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“To become aware in time when young of the advantages of age; to maintain the advantages of youth in old age: both are pure fortune.”

“The world is full of contradiction.”

“The solution of every problem is another problem”

“No man, even though he be Shakespeare, can write perfectly when his web is woven of threads that have been spun in many lands.”

“If the King loves music, it is well with the land.”

“It hurts me to think that people in their rush for everything modern despise all their ancient traditions and ignore them in their lives.”

“O friend, my bosom said,Through thee alone the sky is arched.Through thee the rose is red;All things through thee take nobler form,And look beyond the earth,The mill-round of our fate appearsA sun-path in thy worth.Me too thy nobleness has taughtTo master my despair;The fountains of my hidden lifeAre through thy friendship fair.”

“Nature has many scenes to exhibit, and constantly draws a curtain over this part or that. She is constantly repainting the landscape and all surfaces, dressing up some scene for our entertainment. Lately we had a leafy wilderness; now bare twigs begin to prevail, and soon she will surprise us with a mantle of snow. Some green she thinks so good for our eyes that, like blue, she never banishes it entirely from our eyes, but has created evergreens.”

“The stars are the jewels of the night, and perchance surpass anything which day has to show. A companion with whom I was sailing one very windy but bright moonlight night, when the stars were few and faint, thought that a man could get along with them,-though he was considerably reduced in his circumstances,-that they were a kind of bread and cheese that never failed.”
