Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everyone only hears what he understands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Help me to discover Thy truth, O Lord, and preserve me from those who have already found it
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The true poet is called to take in the splendor of the world and for that reason will always be inclined to praise rather than tofind fault.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Just trust yourself and you'll learn the art of living.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When a wife has a good husband, it is easily seen on her face.

We will burn that bridge when we come to it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
