Zwar weiss ich viel, doch möcht' ich alles wissen-True, I know much, but I would like to know everything. Goethe, "Faust." Zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe schlagen-To kill two flies with one flapper; to kill two birds with one stone. Ger. Pr.

Zwei gute Tage hat der Mensch auf Erden; / Den Hochzeitstag und das Begrabenwerden -Man has two gala-days on earth-his marriageday and his funeral-day. Ger. Pr.

Zwei Seelen und ein Gedanke, Zwei Herzen und ein Schlag-Two souls and one thought, two hearts and one pulse. Halen.

5 Zwei Seelen wohnen, ach! in meiner Brust, Die eine will sich von der andern trennen --Two souls, alas! dwell in my breast; the one struggles to separate itself from the other. Goethe, "Faust.

Zwei sind der Wege, auf welchen der Mensch zur Tugend emporstrebt, / Schliesst sich der eine dir zu, thut sich der andre dir auf,/ Handelnd erreicht der Glückliche sie, der Leidende duldend; / Wohl ihm, den sein Geschick liebend auf beiden geführt-There

are two roads on which man strives to virtue; one closes against thee, the other opens to thee; the favoured man wins his way by acting, the unfortunate by endurance; happy he whom his destiny guides him lovingly on both. Schiller. Zweierlei Arten giebt es, die treffende Wahrheit zu sagen; Oeffentlich immer dem Volk, immer dem Fürsten geheim-There are two ways of telling the pertinent truth-publicly always to the people, always to the prince in private. Goethe.

Zwischen Amboss und Hammer-Between the anvil and the hammer. Ger. Pr. Zwischen heut' und morgen sind Grüfte, zwischen Versprechen und Erfüllen KlüfteBetween to-day and to-morrow are graves, and between promising and fulfilling are chasms. Rückert.
