More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever you can do or dream, begin it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

He who is plenteously provided for from within needs but little from without.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To appear at church every Sunday to look down upon, and let himself be looked at for an hour by the congregation, is the best means of becoming popular which can be recommended to a young sovereign.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything great and intelligent is in the minority
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who strives always to the utmost, him can we save.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Doesn't surprise me that Christ our Lord preferred to live with whores and sinners, seeing I go in for that myself.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
