Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who enjoys doing and enjoys what he has done is happy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The hardest thing is to see what's under your very eyes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is bad governments, not bad people, who cause revolutions.
