Inspirational Quotes › By Teacher › Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
-
If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.
-
The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving.
-
Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.
-
Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.

I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.
