Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is true, but that which is simple.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is no trifling with nature it is always true, grave, and severe it is always in the light, and the faults and errors fall to our share. It defies incompetency, but reveals its secrets to the competent, the truthful, and the pure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Energy will do anything that can be done in this world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you wish a wise answer, you must put a rational question.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
