Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.”
“He who moves not forward, goes backward.”
“Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.”
“One can be instructed in society, one is inspired only in solitude.”
“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them become what they are capable of being.”
“Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image.”
“Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.”
“By seeking and blundering we learn.”
“He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.”
“A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.”
“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.”
“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”
