Goethe

It is said that Goethe had an interesting habit – he stuffed his pockets with flower seeds. And wherever he went, he slowly scattered them. When Goethe died, there were many roads in Germany that were completely planted with flowers. Everywhere he went, there flowers bloomed.

“There is one simple truth, the ignorance of which has ruined countless ideas and brilliant intentions: once you have made a decision, the Providence of God is on your side. Even the impossible comes to your aid. Your decision gives rise to a stream of unforeseen events that benefit you, the most unexpected things happen, you receive such material support that no one even dares to dream of. You can do whatever you want, just get started. Courage breeds genius, strength and magic. Start immediately.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
