More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Action has magic, grace and power in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Doesn't surprise me that Christ our Lord preferred to live with whores and sinners, seeing I go in for that myself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He only fears men who does not know them, and he who avoids them will soon misjudge them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What a day it is when we must envy the men in their graves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A king there was once reigning, Who had a goodly flea, Him loved he without feigning, As his own son were he!
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
Human life-everybody lives it, but only to a few is it known.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
People always fancy that we must become old to become wise but, in truth, as years advance, it is hard to keep ourselves as wise as we were.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beware of wishing for anything in youth, because you will get it in middle age.
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
If the world does improve on the whole, yet youth must always begin anew, and go through the stages of culture from the beginning.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every second is of infinite value.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Your messages I hear, but faith has not been given The dearest child of Faith is Miracle.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life is but a preparation for what there is to come.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Gray is the color of all theory
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The iron hand of necessity commands, and her stern decree is supreme law, to which the gods even must submit. In deep silence rules the uncounselled sister of eternal fate. Whatever she lays upon thee, endure perform whatever she commands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Mastery is often taken for egotism.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beware of her fair hair, for she excels All women in the magic of her locks And when she winds them round a young man's neck, She will not ever set him free again.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wisdom is only found in truth. [Ger., Die Weisheit ist nur in der Wahrheit.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
