2 Creative Quotations from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) born on Aug 28 German polymath, dramatist; considered to be Germany’s greatest man of letters; originated the concept of World Literature; best known for Faust, 1808.

3 The intelligent man finds almost everything ridiculous, the sensible man hardly anything.

4 If any man wishes to write a clear style, let him first be clear in his thoughts.

5 Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.

6 The most original of authors are not so because they advance what is new, but because they know how to say something, as if it had never been said before.

7 Austere perseverance, harsh and continuous… rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irreversibly greater with time.
