A Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Everybody wants to be somebody; nobody wants to grow. — © Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everybody wants to be somebody; nobody wants to grow.
Everybody wants to live forever, but nobody wants to grow old.
Everybody wants to be somebody. Everybody wants to be noticed. Everybody wants to be somebody important. Importance is just treating people good. That's important.
The thing is, everybody wants to be famous. Everybody wants to be successful. Everybody wants to be that dude, but not everybody wants to do the work for it. And I think that's probably one of the reasons why there's so many juniors and only a couple that make it. Because I really wanted it. I wanted it real bad.
Look at our society. Everyone wants to be thin, but nobody wants to diet. Everyone wants to live long, but few will exercise. Everybody wants money, yet seldom will anyone budget or control their spending.
Nobody wants somebody who wants them for what they have or the position their in- you want somebody who wants you for you. In case it all goes crazy and it all turns to dust. I want somebody who loves me in the welfare line, eating gumbo, eating fish,black eyed peas and rice. I want somebody that loves me. God wants you to love him, not his cars, not his house, not his blessing- love him.
When you're younger, everyone wants to be a point guard. Everyone wants to shoot fadeaway jump shots all day. Nobody wants to be a big man. Nobody wants to go stand on the block and just set picks.
Nobody wants to play bad football in a game; everybody wants to win, and every player wants to show how good he is. But, you know, sometimes you simply have a game where nothing is happening.
I love Mike Tyson. I was a fan, as everybody else was. The moment somebody stood up to him, he didn't do so well. And that's the same thing with Anthony Johnson. The guy's a bully. He wants to intimidate you; he wants to dominate you. He wants to knock you out. But what happens when you don't knock somebody out? What happens?
Everybody wants a seat at the table, but nobody wants to give up space.
Everybody wants to save the Earth; nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes.
Everybody wants to be on a championship team, but nobody wants to come to practice.
Balancing the budget is like going to heaven. Everybody wants to do it, but nobody wants to do what you have to do to get there.
It's a question of methods. Everybody wants results, but nobody wants to do what they have to do to get them done.
Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.
Everybody wants happiness, and nobody wants pain, but you can't have a rainbow without a little rain.
Standards are like toothbrushes. Everybody wants one but nobody wants to use anybody else’s.
