Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The old lose one of the greatest privileges of man, for they are no longer judged by their contemporaries.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The church alone beyond all question Has for ill-gotten goods the right digestion.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whoso is content with pure experience and acts upon it has enough of truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Mysteries are not necessarily miracles.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Freedom consists not in refusing to recognize anything above us, but in respecting something which is above us for by respecting it, we raise ourselves to it, and, by our very acknowledgment, prove that we bear within ourselves what is higher, and are worthy to be on a level with it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We all walk in mysteries. We are surrounded by an atmosphere about which we still know nothing at all.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
