Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is good for a nation but that which arises from its own core and its own general wants, without apish imitation of another.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Against criticism a man can neither protest nor defend himself he must act in spite of it, and then it will gradually yield to him.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Upon the creatures we have made, we are, ourselves, at last, dependent.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The one who always strives, That one can be redeemed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As soon as you are in a social setting, you better take away the key to the lock of your heart and pocket it those who leave thekey in the lock are fools.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is a very hard and troublesome thing to dispose of whole, half, and quarter-mistakes to sift them and assign the portion of truth to its proper place.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature reacts not only to physical disease, but also to moral weakness when the danger increases she gives us greater courage
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is true, but that which is simple.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Devote each day to the object then in time and every evening will find something done.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The threshold is the place of expectation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do thine own task, and be therewith content.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When I say to the Moment flying 'Linger a while -- thou art so fair!' Then bind me in thy bonds undying, And my final ruin I will bear!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
