Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A king there was once reigning, Who had a goodly flea, Him loved he without feigning, As his own son were he!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The person of analytic or critical intellect finds something ridiculous in everything. The person of synthetic or constructive intellect, in almost nothing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The artist who is not also a craftsman is no good but, alas, most of our artists are nothing else.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The real scholar learns how to evolve the unknown from the known, and draws near the master.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The history of a man is in his character.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
