Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Is not the core of nature in the heart of man?

There is nothing insignificant in the world. It all depends on how one looks at it.

Nothing is more highly to be prized than the value of each day.

Take life too seriously, and what is it worth? If the morning wake us to no new joys, if the evening bring us not the hopes of new pleasures, is it worth while to dress and undress? Does the sun shine on me today that I may reflect on yesterday? That I may endeavor to foresee and control what can neither be foreseen nor controlled - the destiny of tomorrow?

He who seizes the right moment, is the right man.

As our inclinations, so our opinions.

The right man is the one who seizes the moment.

Open the second shutter, so that more light can come in.

The effects of good music are not just because it's new; on the contrary music strikes us more the more familiar we are with it.
