Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Truth has to be repeated constantly, because Error also is being preached all the time, and not just by a few, but by the multitude. In the Press and Encyclopaedias, in Schools and Universities, everywhere Error holds sway, feeling happy and comfortable in the knowledge of having Majority on its side.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To make a young couple love each other, it is only necessary to oppose and separate them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Experiments are mediators between nature and idea.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The assault of our enemies is not part of our life it is only part of our experience we throw it off and guard ourselves against it as against frost, storm, rain, hail, or any other of the external evils which may be expected to happen.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Energy will do anything that can be done in the world and no talents, no circumstances, no opportunities will make a two-legged animal a man without it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A word spoken is a terrible thing when it suddenly utters what the heart has long allowed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Rejoice that you have still have a long time to live, before the thought comes to you that there is nothing more in the world to see.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As man is, so is his God. And thus is God oft strangely odd.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
