Quote by Johann von Goethe

Character develops itself in the stream of life.

Character develops itself in the stream of life.

Summary

This quote suggests that a person's character is not something that can be easily forced or predetermined, but rather something that naturally emerges and evolves through their experiences and interactions with others. It implies that as individuals live their lives, making choices and facing challenges, their character begins to take shape and reveal itself. Character is thus seen as a continuous process of growth and adaptation, with one's actions and behaviors serving as indicators of their internal values and principles.

But a world we can shape to our will is a shapeless world.
