Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Why go further and further, Look, happiness is right here. Learn how to grab hold of luck, For luck is always there.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If the whole world I once could see On free soil stand, with the people free Then to the moment might I say, Linger awhile. . .so fair thou art.
