Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My counsel is, to force nothing, and rather to trifle and sleep away all unproductive days and hours, than on such days to compose something that will afterwards give no pleasure.
