Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature reacts not only to physical disease, but also to moral weakness when the danger increases she gives us greater courage
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
God could cause us considerable embarrassment by revealing all the secrets of nature to us: we should not know what to do for sheer apathy and boredom.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The coward only threatens when he is safe.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Writing history is a method of getting rid of the past.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A great revolution is never the fault of the people, but of the government.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
True works of art are a manifestation of the higher laws of nature.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
