Johann Wolfgang von Goethe — "A man who is always in a hurry is always behind."

"We are shaped and fashioned by what we love."

"Der Irrtum ist recht gut, solange wir jung sind; man muß ihn nur nicht mit ins Alter schleppen."

"A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted …"

"The more light a man has in his heart, the less darkness he will have in his path."

"He who cannot give an account of three thousand years of history remains in darkness, inexperienced, and lives from day to day."
