The way you see people is the way you treat them and the way... - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences progress in even greater extent and depth, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires: beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels, it will not go."

"There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings."

"Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children."

"Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences progress in even greater extent and depth, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires: beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels, it will not go."

"Know thyself? If I knew myself, I'd run away."
