Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hold your powers together for something good and let everything go that is for you without result and is not suited to you.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If we meet someone who owes us a debt of gratitude, we remember the fact at once. How often we can meet someone to whom we owe a debt of gratitude without thinking about it at all!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Since you know me and my destiny only too well, you probably also know what attracts me to all unfortunate people.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing more frightful than an active ignorance. [Ger., Es ist nichts schrecklicher als eine thatige Unwissenheit.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
