Der Empfindsame bringt auch nie etwas hervor, weil er sich keines Dinges bemächtigen kann, sondern nur von allem überwältigt wird.
The overly sensitive person never produces anything either, because he cannot master anything, but is instead merely overwhelmed by everything.
Clemens Brentano (1778 – 1842), German writer

Es ist ein Schnitter, der heißt Tod, / Er mäht das Korn, wenn's Gott gebot; / Schon wetzt er die Sense, / Daß schneidend sie glänze, / Bald wird er dich schneiden, / Du mußt es nur leiden; / Mußt in den Erntekranz hinein, / Hüte dich schöns Blümelein!
There is a reaper whose name is Death; / He mows the grain as God commands; / Already he whets his scythe / To a keen, gleaming edge; / Soon he will cut you down— / You must simply submit; / You must join the harvest wreath— / Beware, lovely little flower!

Bescheidenheit ist eine Zier, doch weiter kommt man ohne ihr.
Modesty is a virtue, but you get further without it.
Franz Grillparzer (1791 – 1872), Austrian writer and dramatist
ĂĽber den Tellerrand (hinaus-)schauen
literally: to look beyond the edge of the plate
to be open to new and unfamiliar things; to look beyond one's own horizons; to think out of the box; to not be wearing blinkers
Origin: The idiom likely originated in the second half of the 20th century in the worlds of politics and journalism. As early as 1953, journalist Arno Scholz used the term “Tellerand” (edge of the plate) in his book Berlin im Würgegriff (Berlin in a Stranglehold) as a metaphor for a narrow-minded outlook: “That’s how it is again now; a large portion of Germans once more see only as far as the edge of their own plate.” The idiom is said to have been popularized by former Federal Minister of Economics Karl Schiller. In his letter of resignation to Chancellor Willy Brandt in 1972, he wrote: “The government has a duty to look beyond the edge of its own plate—beyond the election date—and to tell the people in a timely manner what needs to be done and what needs to be demanded.”
