Quote by -Johann Von Goethe
"Master and Doctor are my titles; for ten years now, without repose, I held my erudite recitals and led my pupils by the nose."
Quote by -Johann Von Goethe
"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."
Quote by -Johann Von Goethe
"The destiny of any nation at any given time depends on the opinions of its young men under five-and-twenty"
Quote by -Johann Von Goethe
"Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid."
Quote by -Johann Von Goethe
"Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes."
Quote by -Johann Von Goethe
"The person who in shaky times also wavers only increases the evil, but the person of firm decision fashions the universe."
Quote by -Johann Von Goethe
