Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life is not anything, but an opportunity for something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We don't get to know anything but what we love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The rabble also vent their rage in words. [Ger., Es macht das Volk sich auch mit Worten Lust.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The suffering may be moral or physical and in my opinion it is just as absurd to call a man a coward who destroys himself, as to call a man a coward who dies of a malignant fever.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Freedom consists not in refusing to recognize anything above us, but in respecting something which is above us for by respecting it, we raise ourselves to it, and, by our very acknowledgment, prove that we bear within ourselves what is higher, and are worthy to be on a level with it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Method will teach you to win time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How can we learn self-knowledge? Never by taking thought but rather by action. Try to do your duty and you'll soon discover what you're like.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who is the happiest man? He who is alive to the merit of others, and can rejoice in their enjoyment as if it were his own.
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
