More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves otherwise, we harden.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
This is the highest wisdom that I own freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is better to be deceived by one's friends than to deceive them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The history of mankind is his character.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature does not suffer her veil to be taken from her, and what she does not choose to reveal to the spirit, thou wilt not wrest from her by levers and screws.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are but two roads that lead to an important goal and to the doing of great things: strength and perseverance. Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greater part of all the mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I always seek the good that is in people and leave the bad to Him who made mankind and knows how to round off the corners.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Evil One has left, the evil ones remain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everywhere, we learn only from those whom we love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Is it life, I ask, is it even prudence, To bore thyself and bore the students?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hatred is a heavy burden. It sinks the heart deep in the breast, and lies like a tombstone on all joys.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred...unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
English plays, Atrocious in content, Absurd in form, Objectionable in action, Execrable EnglishTheatre.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing more frightful than an active ignorance. [Ger., Es ist nichts schrecklicher als eine thatige Unwissenheit.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Here too it’s masquerade, I find: As everywhere, the dance of mind. I grasped a lovely masked procession, And caught things from a horror show… I’d gladly settle for a false impression, If it would last a little longer, though.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sceptics are yet the most credulous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As in Rome there is, apart from the Romans, a population of statues, so apart from this real world there is a world of illusion, almost more potent, in which most men live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Never by reflection, but only by doing is self- knowledge possible to one.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
