More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Perseverance is a silent power that grows irresistibly greater with time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mind is found most acute and most uneasy in the morning. Uneasiness is, indeed, a species of sagacity - a passive sagacity. Fools are never uneasy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Progress has not followed a straight ascending line, but a spiral with rhythms of progress and retrogression, of evolution and dissolution.
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
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
Secrecy has many advantages, for when you tell someone the purpose of any object right away, they often think there is nothing to it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ohne Hast, aber ohne Rast. - Without haste, but without rest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you are convinced of a matter, you must take sides or you don't deserve to succeed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Deeply earnest and thoughtful people stand on shaky footing with the public.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A phenomenon like Mozart remains an inexplicable thing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The little man is still a man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is equally a mistake to hold one's self too high, or to rate one's self too cheap.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If each one does their duty as an individual and if each one works in their own proper vocation, it will be right with the whole.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Our hands we open of our own free will, and the good flies, which we can never recall.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The most original of authors are not so because they advance what is new, but more because they know how to say something, as if it had never been said before.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The finished man, you know, is difficult to please a growing mind will ever show you gratitude. --Faust 1, lines 182-3
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To every one [Nature] appears in a form of his own. She hides herself in a thousand names and terms, and is always the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Girls we love for what they are young men for what they promise to be.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
