“When a nation which has long groaned under the intolerable yoke of a tyrant rises at last and throws off its chains, do you call that weakness? The man who, to rescue his house from the flames, finds his physical strength redoubled, so that he lifts burdens with ease which in the absence of excitement he could scarcely move; he who under the rage of an insult attacks and puts to flight half a score of his enemies,—are such persons to be called weak? My good friend, if resistance be strength, how can the highest degree of resistance be a weakness?”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther

“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who
falsely believe they are free”

-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
1749 – 1832”

― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“The affairs of the world are no more than so much trickery, and a man who toils for money or honour or whatever else in deference to the wishes of others, rather than because his own desire or needs lead him to do so, will always be a fool.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“The more one knows, the more one comprehends, the more one realizes that everything turns in a circle.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
 
“A person who does not know the history of the last 3,000 years wanders in the darkness of ignorance, unable to make sense of the reality around him”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
 
“When any distress or terror surprises us in the midst of our amusements, it naturally makes a deeper impression than at other times, either because the contrast makes us more keenly susceptible, or rather perhaps because our senses are then more open to impressions, and the shock is consequently stronger.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
 
“Whenever I hear people talking about “liberal ideas,” I am always astounded that men should love to fool themselves with empty sounds. An idea should never be liberal; it must be vigorous, positive, and without loose ends so that it may fulfill its divine mission and be productive. The proper place for liberality is in the realm of the emotions.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
 
“Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
 
“We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
 
“The really unhappy person is the one who leaves undone what they can do, and starts doing what they don’t understand; no wonder they come to grief.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
 
“Truth is contrary to our nature, not so error, and this for a very simple reason: truth demands that we should recognize ourselves as limited, error flatters us that, in one way or another, we are unlimited.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
