Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A person places themselves on a level with the ones they praise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When you are in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude. We don't get to know people when they come to us we must go to them to find out what they are like.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
God help us -- for art is long, and life so short.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
