The day is committed to error and floundering; success and achievement are matters of long range.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheWe know accurately only when we know little, with knowledge doubt increases.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheIf we examine every stage of our lives, we find that from our first breath to our last we are under the constraint of circumstances. And yet we still possess the greatest of all freedoms, the power of developing our innermost selves in harmony with the moral order of the universe, and so winning peace of heart whatever obstacles we meet.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
