More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Begin by instructing yourself, then you will receive instruction from others.
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
Kindness is the golden thread that holds society together.
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
To appreciate the noble is a gain which can never be torn from us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thou must (in commanding and winning, or serving and losing, suffering or triumphing) be either anvil or hammer.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The whole art of living consists in giving up existence in order to exist.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life's objective is life itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The arts are the salt of the earth as salt relates to food, the arts relate to technology.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For precisely when concepts fail one, Words are found at the right time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am very anxious to please the public, particularly as it lives and lets live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Since you know me and my destiny only too well, you probably also know what attracts me to all unfortunate people.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who has a task to perform must know how to take sides, or he is quite unworthy of it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wouldst thou ever roam abroad? See, what is good lies by thy side. Only learn to catch happiness, for happiness is ever by you.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Error is to truth as sleep is to waking. I have observed that one turns, as if refreshed, from error back to truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If society gives up the right to impose the death penalty, then self-help will appear again and personal vendettas will be around the corner.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Try novelties for salesman's bait, For novelty wins everyone.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Action has magic, grace and power in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who wishes to exert a useful influence must be careful to insult nothing. Let him not be troubled by what seems absurd, but concentrate his energies to the creation of what is good. He must not demolish, but build. He must raise temples where mankind may come and partake of the purest pleasure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is the fortunate who should extol fortune. [Ger., Das Gluck erhebe billig der Begluckte.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
