Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
While man's desires and aspirations stir he cannot choose but err.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The rainbow mirrors human aims and action. Think, and more clearly wilt thou grasp it, seeing Life is but light in many-hued reflection.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
By nature we have no defect that could not become a strength, no strength that could not become a defect.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are shaped and fashioned by what we love
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Science arose from poetry... when times change the two can meet again on a higher level as friends.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Someday perhaps the inner light will shine forth from us, and the we'll need no other light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The public wishes itself to be managed like a woman one must say nothing to it except what it likes to hear.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
