More Quotes from Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe:

The same man will, indeed, often see and judge the same things differently on different occasions early convictions must give way to more mature ones. Nevertheless, may not the opinions that a man holds and expresses withstand all trials, if he only remains true to himself and others.Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
