Perseverance is a silent power that grows irresistibly greater with time.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheSo long as you live and work, you will be misunderstood; to that you must resign yourself once and for all. Be silent!
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThe suffering may be moral or physical; and in my opinion it is just as absurd to call a man a coward who destroys himself, as to call a man a coward who dies of a malignant fever.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
