Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you have science and art, You also have religion But if you don't have them, You better have religion.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is more terrible than to see ignorance in action.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A great deal may be done by severity, more by love, but most by clear discernment and impartial justice.
