More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Truth must be repeated again and again, because error is constantly being preached round about.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Then to the depths! - I could as well say height: It's all the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Willing is not enough, we must do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
True happiness springs from moderation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The heights charm us, but the steps do not with the mountain in our view we love to walk the plains.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Does not man lack the force at the very point where he needs it most? And when he soars upward in joy, or sinks down in suffering, is not checked in both, is he not returned again to the dull, cold sphere of awareness, just when he was longing to lose himself in the fullness of the infinite.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And those whom once my song had cheered and gladdened, If still they live, rove through the world now saddened.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing in life so irrational, that good sense and chance may not set it to rights nothing so rational, that folly and chance may not utterly confound it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every day I observe more and more the folly of judging of others by ourselves and I have so much trouble with myself, and my own heart is in such constant agitation, that I am well content to let others pursue their own course, if they only allow me the same privilege.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A king there was once reigning, Who had a goodly flea, Him loved he without feigning, As his own son were he!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If we take people only as they are, then we make them worse if we treat them as if they were what they should be, then we bring them to where they can be brought.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who wishes to exert a useful influence must be careful to insult nothing. Let him not be troubled by what seems absurd, but concentrate his energies to the creation of what is good. He must not demolish, but build. He must raise temples where mankind may come and partake of the purest pleasure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Certain faults are necessary for the existence of the individual. We would resent it if old friends were to get rid of certain peculiarities.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man's restlessness makes him strive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Analysis and synthesis are both as necessary to the thinking spirit as inspiration and expiration to the organism.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When young, one is confident to be able to build palaces for mankind, but when the time comes one has one's hands full just to be able to remove their trash.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Treat a person as they are, they will remain so. Treat a person the way that person can be and is capable of being and that person will become as he or she can be and should be.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No one would talk much in society if they knew how often they misunderstood others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Human life-everybody lives it, but only to a few is it known.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Not the maker of plans and promises, but rather the one who offers faithful service in small matters. This is the person who is most likely to achieve what is good and lasting.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
