Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We must not hope to be mowers, And to gather the ripe gold ears, Unless we have first been sowers And water the furrows with tears. It is not just as we take it, This mystical world of ours, Life's field will yield as we make it A harvest of thorns or of flowers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man does not mind being blamed for his faults, and being punished for them, and he patiently suffers much for them but he becomes impatient if he is required to give them up.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Superstition is rooted in a much deeper and more sensitive layer of the psyche than skepticism.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mob has nothing to lose, everything to gain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nobody, they say, is a hero to his valet. Of course for a man must be a hero to understand a hero. The valet, I dare say, has great respect for some person of his own stamp.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
