Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We who didn't inherit political power nor are made to acquire riches like nothing better than that which expands and solidifies the power of the spirit.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature reacts not only to physical disease, but also to moral weakness when the danger increases she gives us greater courage
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I look upon all four Gospels as thoroughly genuine, for there shines forth from them the reflected splendor of a sublimity proceeding from Jesus Christ.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Oh how sweet it is to hear one's own convictions from another's lips.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything which is properly business we must keep carefully separate from life. Business requires earnestness and method life must have a freed handling.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Self-love exaggerates our faults as well as our virtues.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One cannot develop taste from what is of average quality but only from the very best.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
