Faust

Mephisto:

All right. But do not plague yourself too anxiously;
For just where no ideas are
The proper word is never far.
With words a dispute can be won,
With words a system can be spun,
In words one can believe unshaken,
And from a word no tittle can be taken.

(Goethe's Faust, Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (Author), Walter Kaufmann (Translator,),pp.204-205)
