More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Image
Wouldst thou ever roam abroad? See, what is good lies by thy side. Only learn to catch happiness, for happiness is ever by you.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Mannerism is always longing to have done, and has no true enjoyment in work. A genuine, really great talent, on the other hand, has its greatest happiness in execution.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
What in us the women leave uncultivated, children cultivate when we retain them near us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
I nothing had, and yet enough for youth--Joy in Illusion, ardent thirst for Truth. Give unrestrained, the old emotion, The bliss that touched the verge of pain, The strength of Hate, Love's deep devotion,--O, give me back my youth again!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
He is dead in this world who has no belief in another.
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
Image
Who longs in solitude to live, Ah! soon his wish will gain: Men hope and love, men get and give, and leave him to his pain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Toleration ought in reality to be merely a transitory mood. It must lead to recognition. To tolerate is to affront.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Nothing is more damaging to the truth than an old error.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
We must not take the faults of our youth with us into old age, for age brings along its own defects.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Whatever necessity lays upon thee, endure whatever she commands, do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
How shall we plan, that all be fresh and new-- Important matter yet attractive too? [Ger., Wie machen wir's, dass alles frisch und neu Und mit Bedeutung auch gefallig sei?]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Oh God, how do the world and heavens confine themselves, when our hearts tremble in their own barriers!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
So then the year is repeating its old story again. We are come once more, thank God! to its most charming chapter. The violets and the Mayflowers are as its inscriptions or vignettes. It always makes a pleasant impression on us, when we open again at these pages of the book of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Human life runs its course in the metamorphosis between receiving and giving.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Whatever Nature undertakes, she can only accomplish it in a sequence. She never makes a leap.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Everyone only hears what he understands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The older we get the more we must limit ourselves if we wish to be active.

A person hears only what they understand.
