Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is a great error to take oneself for more than one is, or for less than one is worth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you call a thing bad you do little, if you call a thing good you do much
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Don't judge anyone harshly until you yourself have been through his experiences
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
