There are but two roads that lead to an important goal and to the doing of great things: strength and perseverance. Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThe greatest act of faith takes place when a man finally decides that he is not God.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheHe who possesses art and science has religion; he who does not possess them, needs religion.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
