Source of a Goethe quote
I just watched a documentary in which Goethe is quoted as having said this: “A human life remains of consequence not because of what we leave behind, but because we act and inspire. And arouse others to action and inspiration. We act and inspire and arouse others to action and enjoyment.”
I've spent a long time trying to track down the source of this quote but have been unsuccessful. Can anyone help me?
