Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Writing history is a method of getting rid of the past.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Noble be man, Helpful and good! For that alone Sets him apart From every other creature On earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One can't dull a project better than by discussing it repeatedly.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is not fully understood is not possessed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The force of a language does not consist of rejecting what is foreign but of swallowing it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To every one [Nature] appears in a form of his own. She hides herself in a thousand names and terms, and is always the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The old lose one of the greatest privileges of man, for they are no longer judged by their contemporaries.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Painting predicates what man wants to see, and what man ought to see, not what he ordinarily sees.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are accustomed to see men deride what they do not understand, and snarl at the good and beautiful because it lies beyond their sympathies
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My inheritance how lordly wide and fair Time is my fair seed-field, to Time I'm heir.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
