JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHER. W. EMERSON (prólogo)Goethe enseña el valor personal y la equivalencia de todas las épocas; que las desventajas de cualquier época existen únicamente en los flacos de ánimo.

El secreto del genio consiste en exigir la buena fe, la realidad y un proposito; interminablemente, honrar a la verdad practicandola.
