Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who is the happiest man? He who is alive to the merit of others, and can rejoice in their enjoyment as if it were his own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To measure up to all that is demanded of him, a man must overestimate his capacities
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sometimes I don't understand how another can love her, is allowed to love her, since I love her so completely myself, so intensely, so fully, grasp nothing, know nothing, have nothing but her!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The heights charm us, but the steps do not with the mountain in our view we love to walk the plains.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Plunge boldly into the thick of life, and seize it where you will, it is always interesting.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When we treat man as he is, we make him worse than he is when we treat him as if he already were what he potentially could be, we make him what he should be.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
