Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
On the pinnacle of success man does not stand firm long.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The happiest man is the one who finds happiness at home.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Originality provokes originality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Painting predicates what man wants to see, and what man ought to see, not what he ordinarily sees.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wisdom is only found in truth. [Ger., Die Weisheit ist nur in der Wahrheit.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Once you have missed the first buttonhole, you'll never manage to button up.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If I love you, what business is it of yours?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
