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

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every bird has its decoy, and every man is led and misled in his own peculiar way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Few people have the imagination for reality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The eternal female draws us onward.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Some books seem to have been written, not to teach us anything, but to let us know that the author has known something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Humans fear reason, but they ought to fear stupidity- for reason can be hard, but stupidity can be fatal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Make the most of time, it flies away so fast yet method will teach you to win time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The flowers of life are but illusions. How many fade away and leave no trace.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
