Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The ground that a good man treads is hallowed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All theory, dear friend, is gray, but the golden tree of life springs ever green.

There are but two roads that lead to an important goal and to the doing of great things: strength and perseverance. Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Judge a man's character by what he finds ridiculous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is worth more than this day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is opposition that makes us productive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
