Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let your trouble be Light will follow dark Though the heaven falls You may hear the lark.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are men who never err, because they never propose anything rational.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
