"One is never deceived; one deceives oneself...." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“The world only goes forward because of those who oppose it.”

“The man with insight enough to admit his limitations comes nearest to perfection.”

“Man is a simple being, and however rich, varied, and unfathomable he may be, the cycle of his situations is soon run through.”

“We deceive ourselves when giving respect to the person for whom we have surrendered ourselves, when we respectively expect them to be as we would wish them to be.”

“Humans are creatures, who spent their lifes trying to convince themselves, that their existence is not absurd”

“I am too much in love with my lies and hypocrisies not to confess them fervently.”

“Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else.”

“Academic chairs are many, but wise and noble teachers are few; lecture-rooms are numerous and large, but the number of young people who genuinely thirst after truth and justice is small”

“All action begins in rest... This is the ultimate truth.”
