The true poet is called to take in the splendor of the world and for that reason will always be inclined to praise rather than tofind fault.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
When you are in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude. We don't get to know people when they come to us we must go to them to find out what they are like.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
One glance, one word from you gives more pleasure than all the wisdom of this world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Nothing is worth more than this day. You cannot relive yesterday. Tomorrow is still beyond your reach.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
When I say to the Moment flying 'Linger a while -- thou art so fair!' Then bind me in thy bonds undying, And my final ruin I will bear!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
If I say to the moment: 'Stay now! You are so beautiful'!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Nature does not suffer her veil to be taken from her, and what she does not choose to reveal to the spirit, thou wilt not wrest from her by levers and screws.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
What is hardest of all? That which seems most simple: to see with your eyes what is before your eyes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Idea and experience will never coincide in the center only through art and action are they united.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Man, be he who he may, experiences a last piece of good fortune and a last day. [Ger., Der Mensch erfahrt, er sei auch wer er mag, Ein letztes Gluck und einen letzten Tag.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Stones are mute teachers they silence the observer, and the most valuable lesson we learn from them we cannot communicate.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Alas, I have studied philosophy, the law as well as medicine, and to my sorrow, theology studied them well with ardent zeal, yet here I am, a wretched fool, no wiser than I was before.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Every man must form himself as a particular being, seeking, however, to attain that general idea of which all mankind are constituents.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
When toward the Devil's Hose we tread, Woman's a thousand steps behind. [Ger., Denn geht es zu des Bosen Haus Das Weib hat tausend Schritt voraus.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Piety is not an end, but a means: a means of attaining the highest culture by the purest tranquility of soul. Hence it may be observed that those who set up piety as an end and object are mostly hypocrites.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
