Additional quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Alles ist einfacher, als man denken kann, zugleich verschränkter, als zu begreifen ist.

Man is not born to solve the problem of the universe, but to find out what he has to do; and to restrain himself within the limits of his comprehension.

The person engaged in action is always unconscionable; no one except the contemplative has a conscience.
