More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man knows himself only insofar as he knows the world, becoming aware of it if only within himself, and of himself self only within it. Each new subject, well observed, opens up within us a new organ of thought.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Women are silver dishes into which we put golden apples.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
[Nature's] crown is Love. Only through Love can we come near her. She puts gulfs between all things, and all things strive to be interfused. She isolates everything, that she may draw everything together. With a few draughts from the cup of Love she repays for a life full of trouble.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whoever strikes at marriage either by word or act undermines the foundation of all moral society.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.- Henry Ward Beecher - I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When Nature begins to reveal her open secret to a man, he feels an irresistible longing for her worthiest interpreter, Art.
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
Wisdom is found only in truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If nature is your teacher, your soul will awaken.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When you lose interest in anything, you also lose the memory for it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man is really alive only when he delights in the good-will of others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All that is noble is in itself of a quiet nature, and appears to sleep until it is aroused and summoned forth by contrast.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Christian religion, though scattered and abroad will in the end gather itself together at the foot of the cross.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is belief in the Bible, the fruits of deep meditation, which has served me as the guide of my moral and literary life. I have found capital safely invested and richly productive of interest, although I have sometimes made but a bad use of it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Money lost, something lost. Honor lost, much lost. Courage lost, everything lost-better you were never born
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Certain faults are necessary for the existence of the individual. We would resent it if old friends were to get rid of certain peculiarities.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who enslaves another's manhood with weak human power alone, Lays a heavier yoke of bondage thoughtlessly upon his own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To the man of thought almost nothing is really ridiculous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A great scholar is seldom a great philosopher.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
