Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Our senses don't deceive us: our judgment does
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who never ate his bread in sorrow, Who never spent the darksome hours Weeping, and watching for the morrow,- He knows you not, ye heavenly Powers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever you can do or dream, begin it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let us not dream that reason can ever be popular. Passions, emotions, may be made popular but reason remains ever the property of an elect few.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do not, I beg you, look for anything behind phenomena. They are themselves their own lesson.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you want to make life easy, make it hard.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Someday perhaps the inner light will shine forth from us, and the we'll need no other light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We rather confess our moral errors, faults, and crimes than our ignorance.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To appreciate the noble is a gain which can never be torn from us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Objects in pictures should so be arranged as by their very position to tell their own story.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
