Strana 226 - In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
Strana 24 - Now, if we could win to the Eden Tree where the Four Great Rivers flow, And the Wreath of Eve is red on the turf as she left it long ago, And if we could come when the sentry slept and softly scurry through, By the favour of God we might know as much — as our father Adam knew.

Goethe was a physician who knew what he was about. In a great grief like that, you cannot tickle and divert the mind ; you must wrench it away, abstract, absorb — bury it in an abyss, hurry it into a...

From that great crowd you can" choose what companions you please, for in the silent levees of the immortals there is no pride, but the highest is at the service of the lowest, with a grand humility.
