More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If a good person does you wrong, act as though you had not noticed it. If we practice and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, soon the wholeworld will be blind and toothless.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Vanity is a desire of personal glory, the wish to be appreciated, honoured, and run after, not because of one's personal qualities, merits, and achievements, but because of one's individual existence. At best, therefore, it is a frivolous beauty whim it befits.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is better for you to suffer an injustice than for the world to be without law. Therefore, let everyone submit to the law.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I have found among my papers a sheet . . . in which I call architecture frozen music.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The most difficult thing is what is thought to be the simplest to really see the things which are before your eyes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you start to think of your physical and moral condition, you usually find that you are sick.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wind is the loving Wooer of waters Wind blends together Billows all-foaming. Spirit of man, Thou art like unto water! Fortune of man, Thou art like unto wind!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is in the half fools and the half wise that the greatest danger lies.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A life without love, without the presence of the beloved, is nothing but a mere magic-lantern show. We draw out slide after slide, swiftly tiring of each, and pushing it back to make haste for the next.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Against criticism a man can neither protest nor defend himself he must act in spite of it, and then it will gradually yield to him.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Give me the benefit of your convictions, if you have any but keep your doubts to yourself, for I have enough of my own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is said that no man is a hero to his valet. That is because a hero can be recognized only by a hero.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Opponents fancy they refute us when they repeat their own opinion and pay no attention to ours.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Belief is not the beginning of knowledge - it is the end.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
