Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.

A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.

Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.

One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.

Difficulties increase the nearer we approach the goal.

By seeking and blundering we learn.
