More quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

He who is plenteously provided for from within, needs but little from without.

The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.

Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children.

We must not take the faults of our youth with us into old age, for age brings along its own defects.

Without education, you're not going anywhere in this world.

Education is our only political safety. Outside of this ark all is deluge.

A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated.

The aim of education should be to convert the mind into living fountain, and not a reservoir.
