More quotes by 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
When I make a mistake everyone can see it, but not when I lie.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life is not anything, but an opportunity for something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What people call the spirit of the times is mostly their own spirit in which the times mirror themselves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No one knows what he is doing so long as he is acting rightly but of what is wrong one is always conscious.
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 coward only threatens when he is safe.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is hardest of all? That which seems most simple: to see with your eyes what is before your eyes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When I say to the Moment flying 'Linger a while -- thou art so fair!' Then bind me in thy bonds undying, And my final ruin I will bear!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything in the world may be endured, except only a succession of prosperous days. [Ger., Alles in der Welt lasst sich ertragen, Nur nicht eine Reihe von schonen Tagen.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Is this the destiny of man? Is he only happy before he has acquired his reason or after he has lost it?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I hold to faith in the divine love - which, so many years ago for a brief moment in a little corner of the earth, walked about as a man bearing the name of Jesus Christ - as the foundation on which alone my happiness rests.
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
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As a man is, so is his God therefore God was so often an object of mockery. [Ger., Wie einer ist, so ist sein Gott, Darum ward Gott so oft zu Spott.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My poor head is in such a whirl, my mind is all in bits.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Strike the dog dead, it's but a critic!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Yet he who grasps the moment's gift, He is the proper man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let us live, while we are alive!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever necessity lays upon thee, endure whatever she commands, do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
