Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Fools and wise men are equally harmless. It is the half-fools and half-wise that are dangerous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The day of fortune is like a harvest day, We must be busy when the corn is ripe. [Ger., Ein tag der Gunst ist wie ein Tag der Ernte, Man muss geschaftig sein sobald sie reift.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The man of understanding finds everything laughable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Architecture is frozen music. [Ger., Die Backunst ist eine erstarrte Musik.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I let everyone follow his own bent, that I may be free to follow mine.
