"All the knowledge I possess everyone else..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“One is never satisfied with the portrait of a person that one knows.”

“It is commonly the personal character of a writer which gives him his public significance. It is not imparted by his genius. Napoleon said of Corneille, "Were he living I would make him a king;" but he did not read him. He read Racine, yet he said nothing of the kind of Racine.”

“Reality surpasses imagination; and we see, breathing, brightening, and moving before our eyes sights dearer to our hearts than any we ever beheld in the land of sleep.”

“For knowledge, add something every day. For wisdom....subtract.”

“The only victories which leave no regret are those which are gained over ignorance.”

“Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.”

“You have a one of a kind gift to offer this world, and you are unique in the entire history of creation.”

“Man is, at one and the same time, a solitary being and a social being. As a solitary being, he attempts to protect his own existence and that of those who are closest to him, to satisfy his personal desires, and to develop his innate abilities. As a social being, he seeks to gain the recognition and affection of his fellow human beings, to share in their pleasures, to comfort them in their sorrows, and to improve their conditions of life.”

“Insist on yourself. Never imitate.”
