“Hold your powers together for something good and let everything go that is for you without result and is not suited to you.”

“Whatever truths or fables you may find in a thousand books, it is all a tower of Babel unless love holds it together.”

“Who are you then?" "I am part of that power which eternally wills evil and eternally works good.”

“You can’t, if you can’t feel it, if it neverRises from the soul, and swaysThe heart of every single hearer,With deepest power, in simple ways.You’ll sit forever, gluing things together,Cooking up a stew from other’s scraps,Blowing on a miserable fire,Made from your heap of dying ash.Let apes and children praise your art,If their admiration’s to your taste,But you’ll never speak from heart to heart,Unless it rises up from your heart’s space.”

“God save you, my brethren, with all your -isms and schisms! I am a citizen of the world, and a man of Weimer. I have established myself by culture in this choice society; and if anyone knows a better place, let him go to it.”

“Faust: Who holds the devil, let him hold him well, He hardly will be caught a second time.”

“Rest not Life is sweeping by go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.”
