Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Riches amassed in haste will diminish but those collected by hand and little by little will multiply.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
What is now the foliage moving? Air is still, and hush'd the breeze, Sultriness, this fullness loving, Through the thicket, from the trees. Now the eye at once gleams brightly, See! the infant band with mirth Moves and dances nimbly, lightly, As the morning gave it birth, Flutt'ring two and two o'er earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

On all the peaks lies peace.
