"Everything factual is, in a sense, theory...." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Plunge boldly into the thick of life!”

“Some of our weaknesses are born in us, others are the result of education; it is a question which of the two gives us most trouble.”

“Behavior is a mirror in which every one shows his image.[Ger., Das Betragen ist ein Spiegel in welchem jeder sein Bild zeigt.]”

“I believe that it is better to tell the truth than to lie. I believe that it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe that it is better to know than be ignorant.”

“The purpose of information is not knowledge. It is being able to take the right action.”

“What are man's truths ultimately?Merely his irrefutable errors.”

“In art, practice always comes before theory.”

“One ounce of practice is worth a thousand pounds of theory.”

“Human life is a series of compromises, and it is not always easy to achieve in practice what one has found to be true in theory.”
