Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A true German can't stand the French, Yet willingly he drinks their wines.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am certain that I have been here as I am now a thousand times before, and I hope to return a thousand times... Man is a dialogue between nature and God. On other planets this dialogue will doubtless be of a higher and profounder character. What is lacking is Self-Knowledge. After that the rest will follow.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I examine my own being, and find there a world, but a world rather of imagination and dim desires, than of distinctness and living power. Then everything swims before my senses, and I smile and dream while pursuing my way through the world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ah, how often I've cursed those foolish pages, That showed my youthful sufferings to everyone! If Werther had been my brother, and I'd killed him, His sad ghost could hardly have persecuted me more.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am what I am, so take me as I am!.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than malice and wickedness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He is the happiest man who can see the connection between the end and the beginning of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Passions are defects or virtues in the highest power.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The aim of living is life itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Money lost, something lost. Honor lost, much lost. Courage lost, everything lost-better you were never born
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
