About the Quote
Tomorrow is not promised to us, so each day is an opportunity for us to start with a clean slate so we can get as much out of the day as we can. Whatever problems or failures or disasters we had yesterday can be put into the past today so that we can work on having a promising and hopeful tomorrow.
On the other hand, if yesterday was a success, then today can be used as an opportunity to build on that success.
Some Information about Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was bron in Frankurt am Main [in Germany] on 1749-August-28. He died in Weimar, Saxe-Weimar [in Germany] on 1832-March-22.
Best known simply as Goethe, he is recognized by most people as the greatest literary figure of the modern era. Goethe was a poet, playwright, novelist, theater director, critic, and amateur artists. Additionally, Goethe was a scientist and statesman.
Although many German philosophers and composers had achieved international fame and standing, Goethe is the only German literary figure to achieve that level of fame. His writings had achieved such dominance among the German-speaking cultures that they came to be considered "classical" after the 18th century. It can be said that his writings set the gold standard wherever German was the main language.
Goethe came of age in the Romantic movement of the 19th Century. His work was so dominant that it he came to represent the Romantic movement in the same way that William Shakespeare represents the Renaissance and Dante Alighieri represents the High Middle Ages. Faust, considered Germany's greatest contribution to world literature, is one of the greatest long poems from Europe of the last one thousand years; it is considered on par with Paradise Lost by John Milton and The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri
