More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The best fortune that can fall to a man is that which corrects his defects and makes up for his failings.
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
Daily life is more instructive than the most effective book.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Some books seem to have been written, not to teach us anything, but to let us know that the author has known something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It would not be worth your while to reach the age of seventy if all the wisdom of the world were to be foolishness before God.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Our wishes are presentiments of the abilities that lie in us, harbingers of what we will be able to accomplish.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mortal race is far too weak not to grow dizzy on unwonted brights. [Ger., Das sterbliche Geschlecht ist viel zu schwach In ungewohnter Hohe nicht zu schwindeln.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who enjoys doing and enjoys what he has done is happy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The whole history of the Christian Church is a mixture of errors and violence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man does not mind being blamed for his faults, and being punished for them, and he patiently suffers much for them but he becomes impatient if he is required to give them up.
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
Don't judge anyone harshly until you yourself have been through his experiences
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The light is there, and colors surround us. However, if there were no light nor colors in our own eye, we wouldn't perceive such things outside of us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever we think out, whatever we take in hand to do, should be perfectly and finally finished, that the world, if it must alter, will only have to spoil it we have then nothing to do but unite the severed, to recollect and restore the dismembered.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
That which is eternal in Woman lifts us above.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If there is confusion in your head and in your heart, what more do you want! A man who no longer loves and no longer errs should have himself buried straight away.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Originality provokes originality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A judge who cannot punish, in the end associates themselves with the criminal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred...unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
