[David P. Williams]

I have completed the Hahn translation of his autobiography 'I Speak the Truth'

I am in the process of proof reading the whole manuscript and have come across a quote he refers to from Goethe. It is in German, does anyone recognise exactly from which work it comes from: I have translated it into English.

"Niemals darf ein Mensch glauben, das Ende sei gekommen. Gueterverlust laesst sich ersetzen, ueber anderes troestet die Zeit; nur ein Uebel ist unheilbar: wenn der Mensch sich selbst aufgibt."

"A person must never believe that the end has come. Loss of goods can be replaced, and time heals other losses. Only one evil cannot be forgiven - when a man gives up on himself."

Many thanks in advance,
