Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The few of understanding, vision rare, Who veiled not from the herd their hearts, but tried, Poor generous fools, to lay their feelings bare, Them have men always burnt and crucified.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One man's word is no man's word we should quietly hear both sides.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every beginning is cheerful.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is repetition everywhere, and nothing is found only once in the world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Daily life is more instructive than the most effective book.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To live in a great idea means to treat the impossible as though it were possible. It is just the same with a strong character and when an idea and a character meet, things arise which fill the world with wonder for thousands of years.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No one feels himself easy in a garden which does not look like the open country.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Certain defects are necessary for the existence of individuality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is in vain that a man of sound mind and cool temper understands the condition of such a wretched being... He can no more communicate his own wisdom to him than a healthy man can instil his strength into the invalid by whose bedside he is seated.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
two souls, alas, are housed within my breast, and each will wrestle for the mastery there.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
