More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I believe in God and in nature and in the triumph of good over evil.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The man of understanding finds everything laughable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature! We are surrounded by her and locked in her clasp: powerless to leave her, and powerless to come closer to her. Unasked and unwarned she takes us up into the whirl of her dance, and hurries on with us till we are weary and fall from her arms.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I hate every violent overthrow, because as much is destroyed as is gained by it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To know where a thing is we must have found it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Happy the man who early learns the wide chasm that lies between his wishes and his powers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Oral delivery aims at persuasion and making the listener believe they are converted. Few persons are capable of being convinced the majority allow themselves to be persuaded.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Aptitudes are assumed, they should become accomplishments. That is the purpose of all education.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is not given to us to grasp the truth, which is identical with the divine, directly. We perceive it only in reflection, in example and symbol, in singular and related appearances. It meets us as a kind of life which is incomprehensible to us, and yet we cannot free ourselves from the desire to comprehend it.
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
All understanding begins in wonder!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Experience is only half of experience.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We can always redeem the man who aspires and strives.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Zweck sein selbst ist jegliches Tier. Each animal is an end in itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Yet here I stand poor fool what more, not one wit wiser than before.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Mysteries are not necessarily miracles.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The one who always strives, That one can be redeemed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We all walk in mysteries. We are surrounded by an atmosphere about which we still know nothing at all.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The eternal feminine doth draw us upward. [Ger., Das Ewig-Weibliche zieht uns hinan.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To blow is not to play on the flute you must move the fingers. [Ger., Blasen ist nicht floten, ihr musst die Finger bewegen.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
