The rainbow mirrors human aims and action. Think, and more clearly wilt thou grasp it, seeing Life is but light in many-hued reflection.

Science arose from poetry... when times change the two can meet again on a higher level as friends.

It seems to me that every phenomenon, every fact, itself is the really interesting object. Whoever explains it, or connects it with other events, usually only amuses himself or makes sport of us, as, for instance, the naturalist or historian. But a single action or event is interesting, not because it is explainable, but because it is true.

We are forced to participate in the games of life before we can possibly learn how to use the options in the rules governing them.

It is ever true that he who does nothing for others, does nothing for himself." ~ Goethe

Higher aims are in themselves more valuable, even if unfulfilled, than lower ones quite attained.

Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time.
