Famous quotes containing the word von:

    “No two people see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will often apply the same principle, recognized by both, differently. Even one and the same person won’t always maintain the same views and judgments: earlier convictions must give way to later ones.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
