"If the world does improve on the..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“How fair doth NatureAppear again!How bright the sunbeams!How smiles the plain!The flow'rs are burstingFrom ev'ry bough,And thousand voicesEach bush yields now.And joy and gladnessFill ev'ry breast!Oh earth!-oh sunlight!Oh rapture blest!Oh love! oh loved one!”

“From desire I plunge to its fulfilment, where I long once more for desire.”

“Such is the frailty of man that even where he makes the truest and most forcible impression in the memory, in the heart of his beloved, there also he must perish.”

“We must be willing to learn the lesson that cooperation may imply compromise, but if it brings a world advance it is a gain for each individual nation.”

“Little by little, one travels far”

“Men in general desire the good and not merely what their fathers had.”

“The life I've had, the difficulties, the hardships, the pain I've suffered since I was a child. It's a great privilege to have led a difficult life, and many people in my generation have had this privilege - I sometimes wonder if young people today aren't deprived of the dramas that shaped us.”

“The innocent and the beautiful have no enemy but time.”
