The mob has nothing to lose, everything to gain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The day of fortune is like a harvest day, We must be busy when the corn is ripe. [Ger., Ein tag der Gunst ist wie ein Tag der Ernte, Man muss geschaftig sein sobald sie reift.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Divide and rule, a sound motto. Unite and lead, a better one.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever you cannot understand, you cannot possess.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Flowers are the beautiful hieroglyphics of nature with which she indicates how much she loves us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To venture an opinion is like moving a piece at chess: it may be taken, but it forms the beginning of a game that is won.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We can stand only a certain amount of unhappiness anything beyond that annihilates us or passes us by, leaving us apathethetic.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If nature is your teacher, your soul will awaken.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
