I'm sharing this because I know, that many of you couldn't sleep last night, wondering what Goethe had to say about Greece.

So, here it is:

"What is the mind and heart for the man, is greece for the whole world".

t

ram vorgh, QongchoHmeH 'op naDev nuv, nIDtaH, 'a QongchoHlaHbe'chu', 'elaDya' lubopbogh goethe mu' Sovbe'mo'. 'e' vISovmo', QInvam vIngeH.

vaj:

< nuvvaD potlhchu' yab tIq je, 'ej jaSHa' qo' HochvaD potlhchu' 'elaDya' >

Or..

< taychoHmeH nuv, potlhchu' yabDaj tIqDaj je, 'ej taychoHmeH qo', jaSHa' potlhchu' 'elaDya' >

Or maybe:

< qo' yab qo' tIq je 'oH 'elaDya''e' >

Or maybe even:

< nuvvaD Qu' luturbogh yabDaj tIqDaj je' 'oH qo'vaD Qu''e' turbogh 'elaDya' >

Of the four options, the most direct seems to be the third, perhaps the most literal is the last, but the one I like most is the second, since I think is the one closer to what Goethe actually meant.
