Talita Von Quotes

But the issue is not only life and death but our existence before God and our being judged by him. All of us were sinners before him and worthy of condemnation. ~ Hans Urs Von Balthasar

Our moral traditions developed concurrently with our reason, not as its product. ~ Friedrich August Von Hayek

Ah yes, if I could have a magic cloak
to whisk me off to foreign lands
I should not trade it for the richest robes,
nor for the mantle of a king. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

I was lucky enough to have it all. To be successful in business, to have children, to raise them on my own, and to travel and live my life. It was a lot of work, but it's a privilege to have been able to do it. ~ Diane Von Furstenberg

True observers of nature, although they may think differently, will still agree that everything that is, everything that is observable as a phenomenon, can only exhibit itself in one of two ways. It is either a primal polarity that is able to unify, or it is a primal unity that is able to divide. The operation of nature consists of splitting the united or uniting the divided; this is the eternal movement of systole and diastole of the heartbeat, the inhalation and exhalation of the world in which we live, act, and exist. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Music is truly love itself, the purest, most ethereal language of the emotions, embodying all their changing colors in every variety of shading and nuance. ~ Carl Maria Von Weber

Work on.
Work as if every time you started with and every time you finish. ~ Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch

Without war no State could be. All those we know of arose through war, and the protection of their members by armed force remains their primary and essential task. War, therefore, will endure to the end of history, as long as there is a multiplicity of states. ~ Heinrich Von Treitschke

The artist expresses only what he has within himself, not what he sees with his eyes ~ Alexej Von Jawlensky

An aphorism is the last link in a long chain of thought. ~ Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach

The social function of economic science consists precisely in developing sound
economic theories and in exploding the fallacies of vicious reasoning. In the pursuit of
this task the economist incurs the deadly enmity of all mountebanks and charlatans
whose shortcuts to an earthly paradise he debunks. The less these quacks are able to
advance plausible objections to an economist's argument, the more furiously do they
insult them. ~ Ludwig Von Mises

Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask from God. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

To every one [Nature] appears in a form of his own. She hides herself in a thousand names and terms, and is always the same. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Symbols are the language of something invisible spoken in the visible world. ~ Gertrud Von Le Fort

Science does not have a moral dimension. It is like a knife. If you give it to a surgeon or a murderer, each will use it differently. ~ Wernher Von Braun

One criticizes the English for carrying their teapots wherever they go, even lugging them up Mount Etna. But doesn't every nationhave its teapot, in which, even when traveling, it brews the dried bundles of herbs brought from home? ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

True enjoyment comes from activity of the mind and exercise of the body; the two are ever united. ~ Wilhelm Von Humboldt

Capitalism and socialism are two distinct patterns of social organization. Private control of the means of production and public control are contradictory notions and not merely contrary notions. There is no such thing as a mixed economy, a system that would stand midway between capitalism and socialism. ~ Ludwig Von Mises

The desire to explain what is simple by what is complex, what is easy by what is difficult, is a calamity . ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Once a person learns to read the signs of love and thus to believe it, love leads him into the open field wherein he himself can love. If the prodigal son had not believed that the father's love was already waiting for him, he would not have been able to make the journey home - even if his father's love welcomes him in a way he never would have dreamed of. The decisive thing is that the sinner has heard of a love that could be, and really is, there for him; he is not the one who has to bring himself into line with God; God has always already seen in him, the loveless sinner, a beloved child and has looked upon him and conferred dignity upon him in the light of this love. ~ Hans Urs Von Balthasar

Nothing is more damaging to a new truth than an old error. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Old age is never honored among us, but only indulged, as childhood is; and old men lose one of the most precious rights of man,
that of being judged by their peers. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

The beautiful is a phenomenon which is never apparent of itself, but is reflected in a thousand different works of the creator. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

All political arrangements, in that they have to bring a variety of widely-discordant interests into unity and harmony, necessarily occasion manifold collisions. From these collisions spring misproportions between men's desires and their powers; and from these, transgressions. The more active the State is, the greater is the number of these. ~ Wilhelm Von Humboldt

Scientists study the world as it is, engineers create the world that never has been. ~ Theodore Von Karman

Never expect women to be sincere, so long as they are educated to think that their first aim in life is to please. ~ Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach

One of the towering figures of the age of Enlightenment was Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, known to this day in German-speaking lands as the poet of princes and prince of poets. Unlike Voltaire, he openly practiced esoteric disciplines, particularly alchemy. He wrote a famous verse about the Cathars, which translated says: "There were those who knew the Father. What became of them? Oh, they took them and burned them!" Goethe's chief work, of course, is his Faust. As noted in chapter 8, the figure of Faust was inspired by the image of the early Gnostic teacher Simon Magus, one of whose honorific names was Faustus. While in Christopher Marlowe's sixteenth-century play, ~ Stephan A. Hoeller

If I seem to you to change my state and alter my condition, I do not change my mind. I try always to be Hutten, never to desert myself, but to walk with equanimity through the unequal scenes of life. ~ Ulrich Von Hutten

The deduction of effect from cause is often blocked by some insuperable extrinsic obstacle: the true causes may be quite unknown. Nowhere in life is this so common as in war, where the facts are seldom fully known and the underlying motives even less so. ~ Carl Von Clausewitz

No very deep knowledge of economics is usually needed for grasping the immediate effects of a measure; but the task of economics is to foretell the remoter effects, and so to allow us to avoid such acts as attempt to remedy a present ill by sowing the seeds of a much greater ill for the future. ~ Ludwig Von Mises

Mr. Bergman was a man of great working discipline. He forced everyone to concentrate when it was important. No disturbing noise during rehearsal. A code of silence. ~ Max Von Sydow

I shall proceed from the simple to the complex. But in war more than in any other subject we must begin by looking at the nature of the whole; for here more than elsewhere the part and the whole must always be thought of together. ~ Carl Von Clausewitz

If the practice persists of covering government deficits with the issue of notes, then the day will come without fail, sooner or later, when the monetary systems of those nations pursuing this course will break down completely. The purchasing power of the monetary unit will decline more and more, until finally it disappears completely. ~ Ludwig Von Mises

Nothing higher can be accomplished by the epic poet thus interpreting his own time in order to serve the future.
(Foreword by Frederick Ungar in Elective Affinities, 1962, Ungar Publishing) ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Sameness leaves us in peace but it is contradiction that makes us productive. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

I believe that the time has arrived for medical investigation of the problems of manned rocket flight, for it will not be the engineering problems but rather the limits of the human frame that will make the final decision as to whether manned space flight will eventually become a reality. ~ Wernher Von Braun

He is the happiest man who can see the connection between the end and the beginning of life. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

A man with lofty ideas is an uncomfortable neighbor. ~ Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach

Gambling houses are temples where the most sordid and turbulent passions contend; there no spectator can be indifferent. A card or a small square of ivory interests more than the loss of an empire, or the ruin of an unoffending group of infants, and their nearest relatives. ~ Johann Georg Ritter Von Zimmermann

He who says patience, says courage, endurance, strength. ~ Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach

The word "Capitalism" expresses, for our age, the sum of all evil. Even the opponents of Socialism are dominated by socialist ideas. ~ Ludwig Von Mises

Playing the role of Christ was like being in a prison. It was the hardest part I've ever had to play in my life. I couldn't smoke or drink in public. I couldn't. ~ Max Von Sydow

Economics is a theoretical science and as such abstains from any judgement of value. It is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. It is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. Ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. Science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends. ~ Ludwig Von Mises

I always knew the woman i wanted to be- I knew I wanted to be a woman who was independant ~ Diane Von Furstenburg

I have never looked at foreign countries or gone there but with the purpose of getting to know the general human qualities that are spread all over the earth in very different forms, and then to find these qualities again in my own country and to recognize and to further them. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
