Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask from God.

Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask

Summary

This quote suggests that when seeking guidance or blessings from God, we should desire both profound and uplifting ideas and a sincere, virtuous nature. It implies that merely having intelligent thoughts or a kind heart alone is insufficient; rather, the combination of deep wisdom and moral purity is what we should aspire to. By requesting both great thoughts and a pure heart, we seek to align our intellect with our morality, hoping to cultivate a holistic and righteous character in our pursuit of spirituality.
