More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The century is advanced, but every individual begins afresh.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Kindness is the golden thread that holds society together.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The spectacle of Nature is always new, for she is always renewing the spectators. Life is her most exquisite invention and death is her expert contrivance to get plenty of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Over all the mountain tops is peace. In all treetops you perceive scarcely a breath. The little birds in the forest are silent. Wait then soon, you too, will have peace.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To think is easy. To act is hard. But the hardest thing in the world is to act in accordance with your thinking.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is more odious than the majority, for it consists of a few powerful leaders, a certain number of accommodating scoundrels and submissive weaklings, and a mass of men who trot after them without thinking, or knowing their own minds.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We can redeem anyone who strives unceasingly.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It has been said that figures rule the world. Maybe. But I am sure that figures show us whether it is being ruled well or badly.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Try novelties for salesman's bait, For novelty wins everyone.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Individuality of expression is the beginning and end of all art.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The most original of authors are not so because they advance what is new, but more because they know how to say something, as if it had never been said before.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let your trouble be Light will follow dark Though the heaven falls You may hear the lark.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Aptitudes are assumed, they should become accomplishments. That is the purpose of all education.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Like the star that shines afar, Without haste and without rest, Let each one wheel with steady sway Round the task that rules the day, And do their best.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Energy will do anything that can be done in the world and no talents, no circumstances, no opportunities will make a two-legged animal a man without it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And I have again observed, my dear friend, in this trifling affair, that misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than even malice and wickedness. At all events, the two latter are of less frequent occurrence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He loves not who does not see the faults of the beloved as virtues.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mind is found most acute and most uneasy in the morning. Uneasiness is, indeed, a species of sagacity - a passive sagacity. Fools are never uneasy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The close and thoughtful observer more and more learns to recognize his limitations. He realizes that with the steady growth of knowledge more and more new problems keep on emerging.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
