Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The person who in shaky times also wavers only increases the evil, but the person of firm decision fashions the universe.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who is plenteously provided for from within needs but little from without.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
At the end of life thoughts hitherto impossible come to the collected mind, like good spirits which let themselves down from the shining heights of the past.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The church alone beyond all question Has for ill-gotten goods the right digestion.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whoso is content with pure experience and acts upon it has enough of truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
