Description
Excerpt from Courage
Goethe declares in his idealised history of his life that what we desire in our youth we possess abundantly in our old age. An astonishing saying, and one which seems inconsistent with truth; but if we look at it more closely, such is not the case. Man, indeed, applies himself with ardour to the pursuit of that which he desires and, whether his ambition be noble or the reverse, it is seldom that he does not end by fulfilling it, in part at least.
