Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Age does not make us childish, as some say it finds us true children.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I nothing had, and yet enough for youth--Joy in Illusion, ardent thirst for Truth. Give unrestrained, the old emotion, The bliss that touched the verge of pain, The strength of Hate, Love's deep devotion,--O, give me back my youth again!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Just trust yourself and you'll learn the art of living.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A reasonable man needs only to practice moderation to find happiness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
[W]hat counts is that one perceives excellence and dares to give it expression, which sounds little but is in fact a great deal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And future deeds crowded round us as the countless stars in the night. [Ger., Und kunftige Thaten drangen wie die Sterne Rings um uns her unzahlig aus der Nacht.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sometimes I don't understand how another can love her, is allowed to love her, since I love her so completely myself, so intensely, so fully, grasp nothing, know nothing, have nothing but her!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As our inclinations, so our opinions.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
