This is my personal top three list of the best quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. They are in no particular order. Goethe is the German equivalent to Shakespeare. His most popular work is Faust. Enjoy his timeless wisdom and do not forget to comment your favorite quotes.
“You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.”
We all know him. The guy who screams at the waiter. The woman who looks down at the garbage man. Those who scream at the cashier. It is really annoying to see such behavior in action, even worse to be the target. Maybe their behavior is just a wicked scream for help.
“If you've never eaten while crying you don't know what life tastes like.”
Who does not know this? Your first break up, your pet died; There are many moments worth tears. Ice cream does help a little to ease the pain. It seems like that some things never change.
“There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.”
I am confident that a particular man comes into your mind. Maybe Goethe was a time traveler.
