Once you have missed the first buttonhole you’ll never manage to button up.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quotes
A clever man commits no minor blunders.
There is nothing in the world more pitiable than an irresolute man, oscillating between two feelings, who would willingly unite the two and who does not perceive that nothing can unite them.
Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children.
Unlike grownups, children have little need to deceive themselves.
We can’t form our children on our own concepts; we must take them and love them as God gives them to us.
Talent develops in quiet, Character in the torrent of the world.
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes.
We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden.
