Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Strength Quotations

A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.

Where is the man who has the strength to be true, and to show himself as he is?

There are nine requisites for contented living: HEALTH enough to make work a pleasure; WEALTH enough to support your needs; STRENGTH enough to battle with difficulties and forsake them; GRACE enough to confess your sins and overcome them; PATIENCE enough to toil until some good is accomplished; CHARITY enough to see some good in your neighbor; LOVE enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others; FAITH enough to make real the things of God; HOPE enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.

The people rate strength before everything.

By nature we have no defect that could not become a strength, no strength that could not become a defect.

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.
