"Letters are among the most significant memorial..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“The human mind will not be confined to any limits.”

“A mathematician is only perfect insofar as he is a perfect man, sensitive to the beauty of truth.”

“I have so much in me, and the feeling for her absorbs it all; I have so much, and without her it all comes to nothing.”

“If I stay on for the time being, bearing the burden at my age, it is not because of love for power or office. I have had an ample share of both. If I stay it is because I have a feeling that I may, through things that have happened, have an influence about what I care about above all else, the building of a sure and lasting peace.”

“What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.”

“Speeches pass away, but acts remain.”

“How often we recall with regret that Napoleon once shot at a magazine editor and missed him and killed a publisher. But we remember with charity that his intentions were good.”

“I devoured hot-dogs in Baltimore 'way back in 1886, and they were then very far from newfangled...They contained precisely the same rubber, indigestible pseudo-sausages that millions of Americans now eat, and they leaked the same flabby, puerile mustard. Their single point of difference lay in the fact that their covers were honest German Wecke made of wheat-flour baked to crispiness, and not the soggy rolls prevailing today, of ground acorns, plaster-of-Paris, flecks of bath-sponge, and atmospheric air all compact.”

“Revolutions are the locomotives of history.”
