Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe Quotes

"The intelligent man finds almost everything ridiculous, the sensible man hardly anything""Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together ""Every man desires to live long, but no man wishes to be old ""Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at ""If you start to think about your physical or moral condition, you usually find that you are sick ""Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished ""Instructions for how to love humanity and make the world better must not be mere lip service ""First and last, it is the nature of all things to act upon the lives around them ""Ignorant men raise questions that wise men answered a thousand years ago ""Talent develops in quiet places, character in the full current of human life ""The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt ""He who does not know how to be silent will not know how to speak ""If your destiny is to become a star, you’re all over people when the sun goes down ""Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks ""Everything in the world may be endured except continual prosperity ""Love does not dominate; it cultivates ""Everything is governed by interest ""The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become ""Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent ""The hardest thing to see is what is in front of your eyes "
