Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Lose the day loitering, 'twill be the same story To-morrow, and the next more dilatory, For indecision brings its own delays, And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days. Are you in earnest?

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The Skill to mold the material into what we want must be learned and attentively cultivated.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
