Goethe — Maxims and Reflections

A knowledge base built on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Maxims and
Reflections (Maximen und Reflexionen, from his late period) — a corpus of 590
maxims in T. Bailey Saunders's 1906 translation.

Goethe was not a systematic philosopher but a poet-polymath; this base gathers the
coherent pattern beneath his thought: the active life as the basis of knowledge,
limitation and renunciation as the condition of wholeness, nature as an open secret,
art as the interpretation of nature. Every claim is grounded in a verbatim quote.
