Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My days are as happy as those reserved by God for his elect and whatever be my fate hereafter, I can never say that I have not tasted joy— the purest joy of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The fine emotions whence our lives we mold Lie in the earthly tumult dumb and cold.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
