"You change people by delight, by pleasure...." - Quote by Thomas Aquinas

“Good and evil are essential differences of the act of the will. For good and evil pertain essentially to the will; just as truth and falsehood pertain to the reason, the act of which is distinguished essentially by the difference of truth and falsehood (according as we say that an opinion is true or false.) Consequently, good and evil volition are acts differing in species.”

“Man should not consider his material possession his own, but as common to all, so as to share them without hesitation when others are in need.”

“Better to illuminate than merely to shine; to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate.”

“Leaders never outgrow the need to change.”

“First one must change. I first watch myself, check myself, then expect changes from others.”

“Man can alter his life by altering his thinking.”

“What am I then...? Everything that I have seen, heard, and observed I have collected and exploited. My works have been nourished by countless different individuals, by innocent and wise ones, people of intelligence and dunces. Childhood, maturity and old age all have brought me their thoughts....their perspectives on life. I have often reaped what others have sowed. My work is the work of a collective being that bears the name Goethe.”

“The maker of a sentence launches out into the infinite and builds a road into Chaos and old Night, and is followed by those who hear him with something of wild, creative delight.”

“The person with the most certainty in a given situation will influence the other.”
