Thinking Doe Humility

Author:Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“With all humility, I think, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." Infinitely more important than the vain attempt to love one's neighbor as one's self.

Every achievement is a bird on the wing.”

“Painful for a person is rebellious independence, only in loving companionship with his associates does a person feel safe: Only in reverently bowing down before the higher does a person feel exalted.”
