More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Seldom in the business and transactions of ordinary life, do we find the sympathy we want.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you don't know foreign languages, you don't know anything about your own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Superstition belongs to the essence of mankind and takes refuge, when one thinks one has suppressed it completely, in the strangest nooks and crannies once it is safely ensconced there, it suddenly reappears.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Tolerance should, strictly speaking, be only a passing mood it ought to lead to acknowledgment and appreciation. To tolerate a person is to affront him.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The rabble also vent their rage in words. [Ger., Es macht das Volk sich auch mit Worten Lust.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world is for thousands a freak show the images flicker past and vanish the impressions remain flat and unconnected in the soul. Thus they are easily led by the opinions of others, are content to let their impressions be shuffled and rearranged and evaluated differently.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The present is a powerful deity. [Ger., Die Gegenwart ist eine machtige Gottin.]
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 any man wish to write in a clear style, let him be first clear in his thoughts and if any would write in a noble style, let him first possess a noble soul.
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
Thou tremblest before anticipated ills, and still bemoanest what thou never losest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wisdom is found only in truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The history of mankind is his character.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We lay aside letters never to read them again, and at last we destroy them out discretion, and so disappears the most immediate breath of life, irrecoverably for ourselves and for others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I look upon all four Gospels as thoroughly genuine, for there shines forth from them the reflected splendor of a sublimity proceeding from Jesus Christ.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who does not see the whole world in his friends, does not deserve that the world should hear of him.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The person of analytic or critical intellect finds something ridiculous in everything. The person of synthetic or constructive intellect, in almost nothing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Oh how sweet it is to hear one's own convictions from another's lips.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Only the heart without a stain knows perfect ease. [Ger., Ganz unbefleckt geniesst sich nur das Herz.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
