More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We can redeem anyone who strives unceasingly.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We cannot and must not get rid of nor deny our characteristics. But we can give them shape and direction.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
People always fancy that we must become old to become wise but, in truth, as years advance, it is hard to keep ourselves as wise as we were.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It would not be worth your while to reach the age of seventy if all the wisdom of the world were to be foolishness before God.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Stupidity is without anxiety.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One always has time enough, if one will apply it well.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who strives always to the utmost, him can we save.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let us live, while we are alive!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Is not the core of nature in the heart of man?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences progress in even greater extent and depth, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires: beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels, it will not go.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Alas, that we should be so unwilling to listen to the still and holy yearnings of the heart! A god whispers quite softly in our breast, softly yet audibly telling us what we ought to seek and what to shun.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Certain books seem to be written, not that we might learn from them, but in order that we might see how much the author knows.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am amazed to see how deliberately I have entangled myself step by step. To have seen my position so clearly, and yet to have acted so like a child!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I've often heard it said a preacher might learn with a comedian for a teacher.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The spectacle of Nature is always new, for she is always renewing the spectators. Life is her most exquisite invention and death is her expert contrivance to get plenty of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
That is the way of youth and life in general: that we do not understand the strategy until after the campaign is over.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man's shortcomings are taken from his epoch his virtues and greatness belong to himself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
