More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Love, whose power youth feels, is not suitable for the elderly, just as little as anything that presupposes productivity. It is rare that productivity lasts through the years.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We must not hope to be mowers, And to gather the ripe gold ears, Unless we have first been sowers And water the furrows with tears. It is not just as we take it, This mystical world of ours, Life's field will yield as we make it A harvest of thorns or of flowers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The decline in literature indicates a decline in the nation. The two keep pace in their downward tendency.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who cannot draw on three thousand years is living from hand to mouth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Great endowments often announce themselves in youth in the form of singularity and awkwardness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Over the trackless past, somewhere, Lie the lost days of our tropic youth, Only regained by faith and prayer, Only recalled by prayer and plaint, Each lost day has its patron saint!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When two people are really happy about one another one can generally assume they are mistaken.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All beginnings are delightful the threshold is the place to pause.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Progress has not followed a straight ascending line, but a spiral with rhythms of progress and retrogression, of evolution and dissolution.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ye great teachers: listen to what you say!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One always has time enough, if one will apply it well.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is only in misery that we recognize the hand of God leading good men to good.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is said, that no one is a hero to their butler. The reason is, that it requires a hero to recognize a hero. The butler, however, will probably know well how to estimate his equals.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The one who always strives, That one can be redeemed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All perishable is but an allegory.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The art of governing is a great metier, requiring the whole man, and it is therefore not well for a ruler to have too strong tendencies for other affairs.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Such is the frailty of man that even where he makes the truest and most forcible impression in the memory, in the heart of his beloved, there also he must perish.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing should be valued higher than the value of the day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The bed of flowers Loosens amain, The beauteous snowdrops Droop o'er the plain. The crocus opens Its glowing bud, Like emeralds others, Others, like blood. With saucy gesture Primroses flare, And roguish violets, Hidden with care And whatsoever There stirs and strives, The Spring's contented, If works and thrives.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For many people, one of the most frustrating aspects of life is not being able to understand other people's behavior.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
