More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Each has his own happiness in his hands, as the artist handles the rude clay he seeks to reshape it into a figure yet it is the same with this art as with all others: only the capacity for it is innate the art itself must be learned and painstakingly practiced.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Progress has not followed a straight ascending line, but a spiral with rhythms of progress and retrogression, of evolution and dissolution.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Light has called forth one organ to become its like, and thus the eye is formed by the light and for the light so that the inner light may emerge to meet the outer light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For precisely when concepts fail one, Words are found at the right time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My inheritance how lordly wide and fair Time is my fair seed-field, to Time I'm heir.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The coward only threatens when he is safe.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Very few people love others for what they are rather, they love what they lend them, their own selves, their own idea of them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One says a lot in vain, refusing The other mainly hears the No.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything great and intelligent is in the minority
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When an idea is wanting, a word can always be found to take its place.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You are certainly wrong to compare suicide ... with great accomplishments, since it cannot be considered as anything but a weakness. After all, it is easier to die than to endure a harrowing life with fortitude.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing new on earth / For a person who lives long and experiences much. / In my years of youthful wandering / I have seen crystallized people.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You acquire a language most readily in the country where it is spoken you study mineralogy best among miners and so with everything else.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every step of life shows much caution is required.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One always has time enough, if one will apply it well.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To live as one likes is plebian the noble man aspires to order and law.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As in Rome there is, apart from the Romans, a population of statues, so apart from this real world there is a world of illusion, almost more potent, in which most men live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man knows himself only insofar as he knows the world, becoming aware of it if only within himself, and of himself self only within it. Each new subject, well observed, opens up within us a new organ of thought.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever you cannot understand, you cannot possess.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
