"The greater the knowledge, the greater the..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Create, artist, do not talk.”

“Care is taken that trees do not grow into the sky.[Ger., Es ist dafur gesorgt, dass die Baume nicht in den Himmel wachsen.]”

“It makes no good to point the failures out without showing at the same time the remedy to address them.”

“We know the good, we apprehend it clearly; but we can't bring it to achievement.”

“The library is the biggest cracker box factory in the world. The more you eat, the more you want.”

“Light and liberty go together.”

“The melancholy have the best sense of the comic, the opulent often the best sense of the rustic, the dissolute often the best sense of the moral, and the doubter often the best sense of the religious.”

“The system of Descartes... seemed to give a plausible reason for all those phenomena; and this reason seemed more just, as it is simple and intelligible to all capacities. But in philosophy, a student ought to doubt of the things he fancies he understands too easily, as much as of those he does not understand.”

“There is no permanence in doubt; it incites the mind to closer inquiry and experiment, from which, if rightly managed, certainty proceeds, and in this alone can man find thorough satisfaction.”
