Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Make the most of time, it flies away so fast yet method will teach you to win time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What we agree with leaves us inactive, but contradiction makes us productive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever we think out, whatever we take in hand to do, should be perfectly and finally finished, that the world, if it must alter, will only have to spoil it we have then nothing to do but unite the severed, to recollect and restore the dismembered.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The old lose one of the greatest privileges of man, for they are no longer judged by their contemporaries.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Some of our weaknesses are born in us, others are the result of education it is a question which of the two gives us most trouble.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
