Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who is firm and resolute in will molds the world to himself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Certain books seem to be written, not that we might learn from them, but in order that we might see how much the author knows.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The human mind will not be confined to any limits.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing in life so irrational, that good sense and chance may not set it to rights nothing so rational, that folly and chance may not utterly confound it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To accept good advice is but to increase one's own ability.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing so terrible as activity without insight.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For usually people resist as long as they can to dismiss the fool they harbor in their bosom, they resist to confess a major mistake or to admit a truth that makes them despair.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Doesn't surprise me that Christ our Lord preferred to live with whores and sinners, seeing I go in for that myself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The little man is still a man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life's objective is life itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
