Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The person who in shaky times also wavers only increases the evil, but the person of firm decision fashions the universe.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The fine emotions whence our lives we mold Lie in the earthly tumult dumb and cold.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In politics people throw themselves, as on a sickbed, from one side to the other in the belief they will lie more comfortably.

Culture which smooth the whole world licks, Also unto the devil sticks.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
