Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The art of governing is a great metier, requiring the whole man, and it is therefore not well for a ruler to have too strong tendencies for other affairs.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How marvelous, wide and broad is my Inheritance! Time is my property, my estate is time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Oh God, how do the world and heavens confine themselves, when our hearts tremble in their own barriers!
