Famous quotes by wolfgang von goethe:
“Man ... knows only when he is satisfied and when he suffers, and only his sufferings and his satisfactions instruct him concerning himself, teach him what to seek and what to avoid. For the rest, man is a confused creature; he knows not whence he comes or whither he goes, he knows little of the world, and above all, he knows little of himself.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“The safest thing is always to try to convert everything that is in us and around us into action; let the others talk and argue about it as they please.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“Don’t feel guilty if you don’t immediately love your stepchildren as you do your own, or as much as you think you should. Everyone needs time to adjust to the new family, adults included. There is no such thing as an ‘instant parent.’
Actually, no concrete object lies outside of the poetic sphere as long as the poet knows how to use the object properly.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“One must not criticize that which is common since it remains always the same.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“I never knew a more presumptuous person than myself. The fact that I say that shows that what I say is true.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
