Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one.

  • Hello Mr Josef Essberger! :)

    2272781.jpg Best wishes and regards! :)

  • great innovative work sir

  • Hmmm, in my humble opinion, it says we always like to figure out the answers or the truth, yet there isnt an absolutely certain and stable answer or truth. Everything changes as time goes by except change itself. A truth may turn out to be wrong too.

    The first time I read it, it occured to me a Chinese saying "Where ignorance is bliss, it's folly to be wise." [难得糊涂] I am not sure if there is similarity between them, but I just linked them together unconsciously.

    I'd love to hear your comprehension to this saying. Thanks!

    Dear Josef, I like your favorite sayings. But I don't understand Goethe's sentence. Would you please explain it for me?

  • Dear Josef:
