| Goethe
Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children. Architecture is frozen music.Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.Before you can do something you must first be something. Behavior is a mirror in which every one displays his own image. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.Character develops itself in the stream of life. Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity. Human beings, by change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden. In all things it is better to hope than to despair. Knowing is not enough; We must apply. Willing is not enough; We must do.Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable. Mountains cannot be surmounted except by winding paths. Nothing is as frightening as ignorance in action. {this quote is above the entrance to the Naval Academy} Oh how sweet it is to hear one's own convictions from another's lips. One can be very happy without demanding that others agree with them. One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together. Our work is the presentation of our capabilities. Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity. The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they are dim, the whole world is clouded. The deed is everything, the glory is naught. 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. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von The people who are absent are the ideal; those who are present seem to be quite commonplace. The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it. Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, magic and power in it. Begin it now. When ideas fail, words come in very handy. Who ever strikes at marriage either by word or act undermines the foundation of all moral society. Without haste, but without rest. |
