More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The threshold is the place of expectation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The miller believes that all the wheat grows so that his mill keeps running.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Higher yet and higher out of clouds and night, nearer yet and nearer rising to the light - light, serene and holy where my soul may rest, purified and lowly, sanctified and blest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Love grants in a moment what toil can hardly acheive in an age.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Behavior is a mirror in which every one shows his image. [Ger., Das Betragen ist ein Spiegel in welchem jeder sein Bild zeigt.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is not fully understood is not possessed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If a man or woman is born ten years sooner or later, their whole aspect and performance shall be different.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything factual is, in a sense, theory. The blue of the sky exhibits the basic laws of chromatics. There is no sense in looking for something behind phenomena: they are theory.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The day of fortune is like a harvest day, We must be busy when the corn is ripe. [Ger., Ein tag der Gunst ist wie ein Tag der Ernte, Man muss geschaftig sein sobald sie reift.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Give me the benefit of your convictions, if you have any but keep your doubts to yourself, for I have enough of my own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who is the happiest man? He who is alive to the merit of others, and can rejoice in their enjoyment as if it were his own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
True works of art contain their own theory and give us the measurement according to which we should judge them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The best fortune that can fall to a man is that which corrects his defects and makes up for his failings.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
