Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Truth must be repeated again and again, because error is constantly being preached round about.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To live as one likes is plebian the noble man aspires to order and law.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Before you can do something, you must first be something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Someday perhaps the inner light will shine forth from us, and the we'll need no other light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
