More Quotes from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:
Field Marshall Wilhelm Keitel, supreme chief of the German armed forces, explained the thinking behind the Nazis' Night and Fog ... Efficient and enduring intimidation can only be achieved... by measures by which the relatives of the criminals do not know the fate of the criminals... These measures will have a deterrent effect because the prisoners will vanish without a trace and no information may be given as to their whereabouts or their fate.Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
love awakes,--
And the silence Phoebus breaks
Of his mountains, of his vales,
Sweetly blow the balmy gales;
All for whom he shows affection,
Who are worthy his protection,
Gladly follow his direction.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Be silent as mice, then, and listen!
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
Henry David Thoreau
When nothing is sure, everything is possible.
