Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Clever people are always the best conversations lexicon.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days... What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Knowing is not enough we must apply. Willing is not enough we must do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is predestination? Answer: God is more powerful and wiser than we are, therefore he deals with us according to his pleasure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For I have been a man, and that means to have been a fighter.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Willing is not enough, we must do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Say what you will of fortitude, but show me the man who can patiently endure the laughter of fools when they have obtained an advantage over him. 'Tis only when their nonsense is without foundation that one can suffer it without complaint.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Never by reflection, but only by doing is self- knowledge possible to one.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
