More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Mere curiosity adds wings to every step.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Passions are defects or virtues in the highest power.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life's objective is life itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever necessity lays upon thee, endure whatever she commands, do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
On all the peaks lies peace.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who wishes to exert a useful influence must be careful to insult nothing. Let him not be troubled by what seems absurd, but concentrate his energies to the creation of what is good. He must not demolish, but build. He must raise temples where mankind may come and partake of the purest pleasure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The theater has often been at variance with the pulpit they ought not to quarrel. How much is it to be wished that in both the celebration of nature and of God were intrusted to none but men of noble minds.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greatest joy of a thinking man is to have searched the explored and to quietly revere the unexplored.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The iron hand of necessity commands, and her stern decree is supreme law, to which the gods even must submit. In deep silence rules the uncounselled sister of eternal fate. Whatever she lays upon thee, endure perform whatever she commands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is no past we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternal now that builds and creates out of the past something new and better.
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
We can always redeem the man who aspires and strives.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Flowers are the beautiful hieroglyphics of nature with which she indicates how much she loves us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The most foolish of all errors is for clever young men to believe that they forfeit their originality in recognizing a truth which has already been recognized by others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Stupidity is without anxiety.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sin writes histories, goodness is silent. [Ger., Das Uebel macht eine Geschichte und das Gute keine.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beautiful is greater than Good, for it includes the Good.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are not all equal, nor can we be so.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Superstition is part of the poetry of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
