Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The aim of living is life itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are few who have at once thought and capacity for action. Thought expands, but lames action animates, but narrows.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever necessity lays upon thee, endure whatever she commands, do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The first and last thing required of genius is the love of truth. [Ger., Das erste und letzte, was vom Genie gefordert wird, ist Wahreits-Liebe.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
