Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Correction does much, but encouragement does more. Encouragement after censure is as the sun after a shower.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What we agree with leaves us inactive, but contradiction makes us productive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are shaped and fashioned by what we love
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A person hears only what they understand.
