More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Great endowments often announce themselves in youth in the form of singularity and awkwardness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
New inventions can and will be made however, nothing new can be thought of that concerns moral man. Everything has already been thought and said which at best we can express in different forms and give new expressions to.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you wish to advance into the infinite, explore the finite in all directions.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Only that type of story deserves to be called moral that shows us that one has the power within oneself to act, out of the conviction that there is something better, even against one's own inclination.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To know where a thing is we must have found it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who does not expect a million readers should not write a line.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My poor head is in such a whirl, my mind is all in bits.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The artist who is not also a craftsman is no good but, alas, most of our artists are nothing else.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Conscience is the virtue of the observers not the agents of action
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is sometimes essential for a husband and a wife to quarrel - they get to know each other better.
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
A noble soul alone can noble souls attract And knows alone, as ye, to hold them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What right those who govern have to govern they don't question, they just govern. Whether the people have a right to depose them that doesn't concern them. All they are concerned with is that the people will not be tempted to depose them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
That is the way of youth and life in general: that we do not understand the strategy until after the campaign is over.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Freedom consists not in refusing to recognize anything above us, but in respecting something which is above us for by respecting it, we raise ourselves to it, and, by our very acknowledgment, prove that we bear within ourselves what is higher, and are worthy to be on a level with it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man's highest merit always is, as much as possible, to rule external circumstances and as little as possible to let himself be ruled by them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Few men have imagination enough for reality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
