If I am to listen to another man's opinion, it must be expressed positively. Of things problematical I have enough in myself.

Goethe

The significance of the most harmless words and actions grows with the years, and if I see any one about me for any length of time, I always try to show him the difference there is between sincerity, confidence, and indiscretion; nay, that in truth there is no difference at all, but a gentle transition from what is most innocent to what is most hurtful; a transition which must be perceived or rather felt.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

As little as you can stifle a steam-engine, so little can you do this in the moral sphere either. The activity of commerce, the rush and rustle of paper-money, the swelling-up of debts to pay debts—all these are the monstrous elements to which in these days a young man is exposed. Well is it for him if he is gifted by nature with a sober, quiet temperament; neither to make claims on the world out of all proportion to his position, nor yet let the world determine it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Reflections; Pondering why we are so fixated on ourselves; self-love, self-centeredness, self-obessession, self-interest and selfishness. One primary reason is that we have culted happiness, idolize it and have made it an object of worship. "We love desires more than the desired". And we turn to destroy ourselves from within than without. Our internal faculties burns on our own flames.

I must hold it for the greatest calamity of our time, which lets nothing come to maturity, that one moment is consumed by the next, and the day spent in the day;
so that a man is always living from hand to mouth, without having anything to show for it. Have we not already newspapers for every hour of the day! A good head could assuredly intercalate one or other of them. They publish abroad everything that every one does, or is busy with or meditating; nay, his very designs are thereby dragged into publicity. No one can rejoice or be sorry, but as a pastime for others; and so it goes on from house to house, from city to city, from kingdom to kingdom, and at last from one hemisphere to the other,—all in post haste.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Imagination is a powerful entity that should never be allowed to dissipate. It holds immense treasure. Imagination serves as the catalyst for art, the inspiration for artists, and the foundation of creativity.

Embrace art. Love it treasure. Stay strong in your imagination.
