Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world only goes forward because of those who oppose it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If all these devils really exist it proves there must be angels, too.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If a man writes a book, let him set down only what he knows. I have guesses enough of my own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Still this planet's soil for noble deeds grants scope abounding.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who knows no foreign languages knows nothing of his own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
That which thy fathers have bequeathed to thee, earn it anew if thou wouldst possess it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Few people have the imagination for reality.
