Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Talent develops in tranquility, character in the full current of human life.

Talent develops in tranquility, character in the full curren

Summary

This quote suggests that while talent may thrive in a calm and peaceful environment, true character is honed and shaped through the challenges and complexities of real-life experiences. In moments of peace and tranquility, talents can be discovered and cultivated, but it is in the midst of the turbulent currents of human existence that one's character is truly formed and tested. Through encountering and overcoming various obstacles and interacting with others, one's character develops its strength, integrity, and resilience.

I have no conscience, none, but I would not like to bring a soul into this world. When it sinned and when it suffered something like a dead hand would fall on me, -- You did it, you, for your own pleasure you created this thing! See your work! If it lived to be eighty it would always hang like a millstone round my neck, have the right to demand good from me, and curse me for its sorrow. A parent is only like to God: if his work turns out bad so much the worse for him; he dare not wash his hands of it. Time and years can never bring the day when you can say to your child, Soul, what have I to do with you?

When I was very young and the urge to be someplace was on me

When I was very young and the urge to be someplace was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked. In other words, I don't improve, in further words, once a bum always a bum. I fear the disease is incurable.
