Wealth and speed are what the world admires, what each pursues. Railways, express mails, steamships and every possible facility for communications are the achievement in which the civilized world view and revels, only to languish in mediocrity by that very fact. Indeed, the effect of this diffusion is to spread the culture of the mediocre.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThe person who in shaky times also wavers only increases the evil, but the person of firm decision fashions the universe.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheDon't judge anyone harshly until you yourself have been through his experiences
