Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Temptation Quotations

Great possessions and great want of them are both strong temptations.

Every bird has its decoy, and every man is led and misled in his own peculiar way.

Thou shalt abstain, Renounce, refrain.

We are surrounded by abysses, but the greatest of all depths is in our own heart, and an irresistible leaning leads us there. Draw thyself from thyself!

The absence of temptation is the absence of virtue.
