Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.

Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.

Beauty is a primeval phenomenon, which itself never makes its appearance, but the reflection of which is visible in a thousand different utterances of the creative mind, and is as various as nature herself.

For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him he must regard himself as greater than he is.

Those who hope for no other life are dead even for this.

Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.

Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.

No one has ever learned fully to know themselves.

The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.

Girls we love for what they are; men for what they promise to be.

Certain defects are necessary for the existence of individuality.

The person who in shaky times also wavers only increases the evil, but the person of firm decision fashions the universe.

Ambition and love are the wings to great deeds.

Look closely at those who patronize you. Half are unfeeling, half untaught.

If I love you, what business is it of yours?
