Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Path Quotations

And step by step, along the path of life, There's nothing true but Heaven.

One is led astray alike by sympathy and coldness, by praise and by blame

Seldom in the business and transactions of ordinary life, do we find the sympathy we want.

What is the path? There is no path. On into the unknown.

A good person, striving dimly, Is well aware of the right path.

Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid.

Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image.

Wherever a man may happen to turn, whatever a man may undertake, he will always end up by returning to that path which nature has marked out for him.

What by a straight path cannot be reached by crooked ways is never won.
