Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Belief is not the beginning of knowledge - it is the end.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Love grants in a moment What toil can hardly achieve in an age. [Ger., In einem Augenblick gewahrt die Liebe Was Muhe kaum in langer Zeit erreicht.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Money lost, something lost. Honor lost, much lost. Courage lost, everything lost-better you were never born
