Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The assault of our enemies is not part of our life it is only part of our experience we throw it off and guard ourselves against it as against frost, storm, rain, hail, or any other of the external evils which may be expected to happen.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We cannot and must not get rid of nor deny our characteristics. But we can give them shape and direction.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What do people mean when they talk about unhappiness? It is not so much unhappiness as impatience that from time to time possesses men, and then they choose to call themselves miserable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The rainbow mirrors human aims and action. Think, and more clearly wilt thou grasp it, seeing Life is but light in many-hued reflection.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
