Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What I possess I would gladly retain. Change amuses the mind, yet scarcely profits.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To live within limits. To want one thing. Or a few things very much and love them dearly. Cling to them, survey them from every angle. Become one with them - that is what makes the poet, the artist, the human being.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Music is either sacred or secular. The sacred agrees with its dignity, and here has its greatest effect on life, an effect that remains the same through all ages and epochs. Secular music should be cheerful throughout.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is the path? There is no path. On into the unknown.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What one has wished for in youth, in old age one has in abundance.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beware of her fair hair, for she excels All women in the magic of her locks And when she winds them round a young man's neck, She will not ever set him free again.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sameness leaves us in peace but it is contradiction that makes us productive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever necessity lays upon thee, endure whatever she commands, do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
On the pinnacle of success man does not stand firm long.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For precisely when concepts fail one, Words are found at the right time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
