A true German can't stand the French, Yet willingly he drinks their wines.
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
They teach in academies far too many things, and far too much that is useless.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To appear at church every Sunday to look down upon, and let himself be looked at for an hour by the congregation, is the best means of becoming popular which can be recommended to a young sovereign.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The suffering may be moral or physical and in my opinion it is just as absurd to call a man a coward who destroys himself, as to call a man a coward who dies of a malignant fever.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing in the world more pitiable than an irresolute man, oscillating between two feelings, who would willingly unite the two and who does not perceive that nothing can unite them
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The miller believes that all the wheat grows so that his mill keeps running.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Were the eye not of the sun, How could we behold the light? If God's might and ours were not as one, How could His work enchant our sight?
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
He who does not think much of himself is much more esteemed than he imagines.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A human being needs only a small plot of ground on which to be happy, and even less to lie beneath.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Is not the core of nature in the heart of man?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One says a lot in vain, refusing The other mainly hears the No.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Colors are light's suffering and joy
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A plant is like a self-willed man, out of whom we can obtain all which we desire, if we will only treat him his own way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Look at a man the way he is and he only becomes worse, but look at him as if he were what he could be, then he becomes what he should be.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He is dead in this world who has no belief in another.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The present is a powerful deity. [Ger., Die Gegenwart ist eine machtige Gottin.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
