Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One cannot always be a hero, but one can always be a man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A person places themselves on a level with the ones they praise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We gladly put antiquity above our age but not posterity. Only a father doesn't begrudge his son's talent.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
