Johann Wolfgang von Goethe/Quotes
 Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone. Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen. Nothing is worth more than this day. None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live. Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words. I call architecture frozen music. Correction does much, but encouragement does more.
