Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything in the world may be endured, except only a succession of prosperous days. [Ger., Alles in der Welt lasst sich ertragen, Nur nicht eine Reihe von schonen Tagen.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thou art in the end what thou art. Put on wigs with millions of curls, set thy foot upon ell-high rocks. Thou abidest ever--what thou art.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Great necessity elevates man, petty necessity casts him down
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One must be something, in order to do something.
