More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To tremble before anticipated evils is to bemoan what thou hast never lost.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A person hears only what they understand.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing more fearful than imagination without taste. [Ger., Es ist nichts furchterlicher als Einbildungskraft ohne Geschmack.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We rather confess our moral errors, faults, and crimes than our ignorance.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing should be valued higher than the value of the day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Truth has to be repeated constantly, because Error also is being preached all the time, and not just by a few, but by the multitude. In the Press and Encyclopaedias, in Schools and Universities, everywhere Error holds sway, feeling happy and comfortable in the knowledge of having Majority on its side.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Colors are the deeds/ and sufferings of light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am amazed to see how deliberately I have entangled myself step by step. To have seen my position so clearly, and yet to have acted so like a child!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What do people mean when they talk about unhappiness? It is not so much unhappiness as impatience that from time to time possesses men, and then they choose to call themselves miserable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The passions are like those demons with which Afrasahiab sailed down the Orus. Our only safety consists in keeping them asleep. If they we are lost.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Men are so constituted that every one undertakes what he sees another successful in, whether he has aptitude for it or not.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To appreciate the noble is a gain which can never be torn from us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Error is to truth as sleep is to waking. I have observed that one turns, as if refreshed, from error back to truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who enslaves another's manhood with weak human power alone, Lays a heavier yoke of bondage thoughtlessly upon his own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One alone does not help, but rather he who unites with many at the right moment.
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
Misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than malice and wickedness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
People are so constituted that everybody would rather undertake what they see others do, whether they have an aptitude for it or not.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Mere curiosity adds wings to every step.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
