Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quotes

A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait.

This quote is claiming that actions rather than appearances are the ways a man is seen by the world. Every one of us dreams of success. We spent hours thinking about the ways to succeed but often neglect a simple ingredient- good manner. Good manners are not just an action, it’s a way of life. But in the fast-paced life of today, it is neglected.

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.

Trusting ourselves would require us to leave our excuses and take steps towards our biggest and boldest dreams. As exciting as this could be, this brings up one of the core fears- that of the unknown, and the corresponding need to cling to the known- our comfort zone.
