More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We gladly put antiquity above our age but not posterity. Only a father doesn't begrudge his son's talent.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One can stand anything except a succession of ordinary days
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Truth is a torch, but a huge one, and so it is only with blinking eyes what we all of us try to get past it, in actual terror of being burnt.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What a man does not understand, he does not possess.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We must not hope to be mowers, And to gather the ripe gold ears, Unless we have first been sowers And water the furrows with tears. It is not just as we take it, This mystical world of ours, Life's field will yield as we make it A harvest of thorns or of flowers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When translating one must proceed up to the intranslatable only then one becomes aware of the foreign nation and the foreign tongue.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Of all peoples the Greeks have dreamt the dream of life best.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who does not expect a million readers should not write a line.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Fools and wise men are equally harmless. It is the half-fools and half-wise that are dangerous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let us live in as small a circle as we will, we are either debtors or creditors before we have had time to look around.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A great scholar is seldom a great philosopher.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
