The Evil One has left, the evil ones remain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who can think wise or stupid things at all that were not thought already in the past.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who has a task to perform must know how to take sides, or he is quite unworthy of it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is better to do the smallest thing in the world than to hold half an hour to be too small a thing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Why should we not recognize in the lightning, the thunder, and the storm wind, the approach of an overwhelming Power, and in the scent of flowers and the gently rustling zephyr the presence of a Being full of love?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Art is a mediator of the unspeakable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man is not born to solve the problem of the universe, but to find out what he has to do and to restrain himself within the limits of his comprehension.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A wife is a gift bestowed upon a man to reconcile him to the loss of paradise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Precaution is better than cure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One glance, one word from you gives more pleasure than all the wisdom of this world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man, be he who he may, experiences a last piece of good fortune and a last day. [Ger., Der Mensch erfahrt, er sei auch wer er mag, Ein letztes Gluck und einen letzten Tag.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One spares old people just as one spares children.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I wish the stage were as narrow as the wire of a tighrope dancer so that no incompetent would dare step upon it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What then is your duty? What the day demands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We blame equally him who is too proud to put a proper value on his own merit and him who prizes too highly his spurious worth.
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 the path? There is no path. On into the unknown.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything great and intelligent is in the minority
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
