More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What I possess I would gladly retain. Change amuses the mind, yet scarcely profits.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Perfection is the measure of heaven, and the wish to be perfect the measure of man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hypotheses are only the pieces of scaffolding which are erected round a building during the course of construction, and which are taken away as soon as the edifice is completed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are men who never err, because they never propose anything rational.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Excellence is rarely found, more rarely valued.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The church alone beyond all question Has for ill-gotten goods the right digestion.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world is so full of simpletons and madmen, that one need not seek them in a madhouse.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For usually people resist as long as they can to dismiss the fool they harbor in their bosom, they resist to confess a major mistake or to admit a truth that makes them despair.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One alone does not help, but rather he who unites with many at the right moment.
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
Three things are to be looked to in a building: that it stand on the right spot that it is securely founded that it be successfully executed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Aptitudes are assumed, they should become accomplishments. That is the purpose of all education.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nobody, they say, is a hero to his valet. Of course for a man must be a hero to understand a hero. The valet, I dare say, has great respect for some person of his own stamp.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beauty and Genius must be kept afar if one would avoid becoming their slave.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
True art can only spring from the intimate linking of the serious and the playful.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
God help us -- for art is long, and life so short.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The clever reader who is capable or reading between these lines what does not stand written in them but is nevertheless implied will be able to form some conception.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One mind is enough for a thousand hands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
