Though the German-born writer and artist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe died 181 years ago, his words remain just as valid and universal as they did in the 19th century, a testament to the consistency of the human condition. As one might suspect, there is a large number of books featuring Goethe’s work that have been produced over the years. If you want to expand your knowledge of the man beyond this wonderfully inspirational quote, you can buy any number of collectible pieces on eBay.
