More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The soul-stirring image of death is no bugbear to the sage, and is looked on without despair by the pious. It teaches the former to live, and it strengthens the hopes of the latter in salvation in the midst of distress. Death is new life to both.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All theory, dear friend, is gray, but the golden tree of life springs ever green.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The coward only threatens when he is safe.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You will find the most pronounced hatred of other nations on the lowest cultural levels. There is, though, a level where the hatred disappears completely and where one so to speak stands above the nations and where one experiences fortune or misfortune of a neighboring country as if they had happened to one's own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The whole art of living consists in giving up existence in order to exist.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is predestination? Answer: God is more powerful and wiser than we are, therefore he deals with us according to his pleasure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Over the trackless past, somewhere, Lie the lost days of our tropic youth, Only regained by faith and prayer, Only recalled by prayer and plaint, Each lost day has its patron saint!
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
When you lose interest in anything, you also lose the memory for it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Begin by instructing yourself, then you will receive instruction from others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The church alone beyond all question Has for ill-gotten goods the right digestion.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How can you come to know yourself? Never by thinking, always by doing. Try to do your duty, and you'll know right away what you amount to.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who does not stretch himself according to the coverlet finds his feet uncovered.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Gray are all the theories, But green is the tree of life.
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
Science has been seriously retarded by the study of what is not worth knowing and of what is not knowable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A joy shared is a joy doubled.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The highest cannot be spoken it can only be acted.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One man's word is no man's word we should quietly hear both sides.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
