Over the trackless past, somewhere, Lie the lost days of our tropic youth, Only regained by faith and prayer, Only recalled by prayer and plaint, Each lost day has its patron saint!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A true German can't stand the French, Yet willingly he drinks their wines.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For what one has in black and white, One can carry home in comfort.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Try novelties for salesman's bait, For novelty wins everyone.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Woman-Soul leadeth us upward and on!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The history of a man is in his character.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The angles even Draw strength from gazing on its glance, Though none its meaning fathom may The world's unwither'd countenance Is bright as at creation's day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One doesn't always lose when one has to do without.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
