Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is worse than active ignorance.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Give me the benefit of your convictions, if you have any but keep your doubts to yourself, for I have enough of my own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is better to be doing the most insignificant thing than to reckon even a half-hour insignificant.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man's shortcomings are taken from his epoch his virtues and greatness belong to himself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I let everyone follow his own bent, that I may be free to follow mine.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To like things like, whatever one may ail There is certain help.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When scholars study a thing, they strive to kill it first, if it's alive then they have the parts and the'be lost the whole, for the link that's missing was the living soul.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
