There is not a single outward mark of courtesy that does not have a deep moral basis.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheIs it not enough that we cannot make one another happy, must we also rob one another of the pleasures that any heart may permit itself now and then? And name me a person who in a bad mood will be decent enough to hide it, to bear it alone, without destroying the joy around him. Is it not rather an inner dissatisfaction with our own unworthiness, a dislike of ourselves that is always associated with envy aggravated by foolish conceit? We see people happy and not made happy by us, and that is unbearable.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheNothing is worth more than this day. You cannot relive yesterday. Tomorrow is still beyond your reach.
