Tis Lilith. Who? Adam's first wife is she. Beware the lure within her lovely tresses, The splendid sole adornment of her hair When she succeeds therewith a youth to snare, Not soon again she frees him from her jesses.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Know'st thou yesterday, its aim and reason? Work'st thou will today for worthier things? Then calmly wait the morrow's hidden season, And fear thou not, what hap soe'er it brings
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What government is the best? That which teaches us to govern ourselves. [Ger., Welche Regierung die beste sei? Diejenige die uns lehrt uns selbst zu regieren.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The eye doesn't see any shapes, it sees only what is differentiated through light and dark or through colors.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever we think out, whatever we take in hand to do, should be perfectly and finally finished, that the world, if it must alter, will only have to spoil it we have then nothing to do but unite the severed, to recollect and restore the dismembered.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is no patriotic art.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is no patriotic art and no patriotic science.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One is led astray alike by sympathy and coldness, by praise and by blame
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Those who hope for no other life are dead even for this.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
