Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The arts are the salt of the earth as salt relates to food, the arts relate to technology.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Man... knows only when he is satisfied and when he suffers, and only his sufferings and his satisfactions instruct him concerning himself, teach him what to seek and what to avoid. For the rest, man is a confused creature he knows not whence he comes or whither he goes, he knows little of the world, and above all, he knows little of himself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image

We all walk in mysteries. We are surrounded by an atmosphere about which we still know nothing at all.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Over the trackless past, somewhere, Lie the lost days of our tropic youth, Only regained by faith and prayer, Only recalled by prayer and plaint, Each lost day has its patron saint!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Someday perhaps the inner light will shine forth from us, and the we'll need no other light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Freedom consists not in refusing to recognize anything above us, but in respecting something which is above us for by respecting it, we raise ourselves to it, and, by our very acknowledgment, prove that we bear within ourselves what is higher, and are worthy to be on a level with it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Noble be man, Helpful and good! For that alone Sets him apart From every other creature On earth.
