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? Seize this very minute! What you can do, or think you can, begin it! Only engage, and then the mind grows heated Begin it, and the work will be completed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Colors are the deeds/ and sufferings of light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The present moment is a powerful goddess.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
