Goethe on errors, 2

On April 29, 2021 By Goethe GlobalIn errors

We must pay dearly for our errors
when we want to get rid of them,
and even then
we have to count ourselves lucky.

Man muß seine Irrtümer teuer bezahlen,
wenn man sie loswerden will, und dann
hat man noch von Glück zu sagen.

-Maxims and reflections, No. 323
Translation by Goethe Global.

No. 3405
