Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When I make a mistake everyone can see it, but not when I lie.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

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

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man believes himself always greater than he is, and is esteemed less than he is worth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What dazzles, for the moment spends its spirit Whats genuine, shall posterity inherit.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I nothing had, and yet enough for youth--Joy in Illusion, ardent thirst for Truth. Give unrestrained, the old emotion, The bliss that touched the verge of pain, The strength of Hate, Love's deep devotion,--O, give me back my youth again!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I examine my own being, and find there a world, but a world rather of imagination and dim desires, than of distinctness and living power. Then everything swims before my senses, and I smile and dream while pursuing my way through the world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is more terrible than to see ignorance in action.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
