Image
It is not always needful for truth to take a definite shape it is enough if it hovers about us like a spirit and produces harmony if it is wafted through the air like the sound of a bell, grave and kindly.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Love grants in a moment what toil can hardly acheive in an age.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
I do not now begin, - I still adore Her whom I early cherish'd in my breast Then once again with prudence dispossess'd, And to whose heart I'm driven back once more. The love of Petrarch, that all-glorious love, Was unrequited, and, alas, full sad.

In the colored reflection we have Life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Alas, that we should be so unwilling to listen to the still and holy yearnings of the heart! A god whispers quite softly in our breast, softly yet audibly telling us what we ought to seek and what to shun.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The most damaging prejudice consists of banning any kind of investigation of nature.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
We who didn't inherit political power nor are made to acquire riches like nothing better than that which expands and solidifies the power of the spirit.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Not the maker of plans and promises, but rather the one who offers faithful service in small matters. This is the person who is most likely to achieve what is good and lasting.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Whoso is content with pure experience and acts upon it has enough of truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The bed of flowers Loosens amain, The beauteous snowdrops Droop o'er the plain. The crocus opens Its glowing bud, Like emeralds others, Others, like blood. With saucy gesture Primroses flare, And roguish violets, Hidden with care And whatsoever There stirs and strives, The Spring's contented, If works and thrives.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
