He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.
Johann von Goethe on Growth
Everybody wants to be somebody; nobody wants to grow.
Johann von Goethe on Earth
The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone here and there who thinks and feels with us, and though distant, is close to us in spirit - this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.
Johann von Goethe on Effort
Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.
