Great necessity elevates man, petty necessity casts him down
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let your trouble be Light will follow dark Though the heaven falls You may hear the lark.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The theater has often been at variance with the pulpit they ought not to quarrel. How much is it to be wished that in both the celebration of nature and of God were intrusted to none but men of noble minds.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ignorant men raise questions that wise men answered a thousand years ago.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred...unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When I make a mistake everyone can see it, but not when I lie.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Architecture is crystallized music.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The present is a powerful deity. [Ger., Die Gegenwart ist eine machtige Gottin.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If we are out of synch with ourselves, everything is out of synch for us.

A great deal may be done by severity, more by love, but most by clear discernment and impartial justice.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
