Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Greater Quotations

I respect the man who knows distinctly what he wishes. The greater part of all mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims. They have undertaken to build a tower, and spend no more labor on the foundation than would be necessary to erect a hut.

For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him, he must regard himself as greater than he is

The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.

Beautiful is greater than Good, for it includes the Good.
