Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
God could cause us considerable embarrassment by revealing all the secrets of nature to us: we should not know what to do for sheer apathy and boredom.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life is the childhood of our immortality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A purpose you impart is no longer your own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nobody, they say, is a hero to his valet. Of course for a man must be a hero to understand a hero. The valet, I dare say, has great respect for some person of his own stamp.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever you can do or dream, begin it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is worth more than this day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
But one must know where one stands, and where the others wish to go.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
