Johann Gottfried Herder

“Calmly take what ill betideth; Who his own impatience sways.”

“Jesus Christ is, in the noblest and most perfect sense, the realized ideal of humanity.”

“…nothing in Nature stands still; everything strives and moves forward. If we could only view the first stages of creation, how the kingdoms of nature were built one upon the other, a progression of forward-striving forces would reveal itself in all evolution.”
