More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is not always needful for truth to take a definite shape it is enough if it hovers about us like a spirit and produces harmony if it is wafted through the air like the sound of a bell, grave and kindly.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is equally a mistake to hold one's self too high, or to rate one's self too cheap.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are but few who have ideas and are, at the same time, capable of action. Ideas enlarge but stymie, action enlivens but confines.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Great possessions and great want of them are both strong temptations.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Yes, I have finally arrived to this Capital of the World! I now see all the dreams of my youth coming to life... Only in Rome is it possible to understand Rome.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As long as you don't practice it, this dying and becoming, You are only a dreary guest on this dark earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Our virtues and view spring from one root.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you start to think of your physical and moral condition, you usually find that you are sick.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Upon the creatures we have made, we are, ourselves, at last, dependent.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is the color closest to light. In its utmost purity it always implies the nature of brightness and has a cheerful, serene, gently stimulating character. Hence, experience teaches us that yellow makes a thoroughly warm and comforting impression.
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
I nothing had, and yet enough for youth--Joy in Illusion, ardent thirst for Truth. Give unrestrained, the old emotion, The bliss that touched the verge of pain, The strength of Hate, Love's deep devotion,--O, give me back my youth again!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Correction does much, but encouragement does more. Encouragement after censure is as the sun after a shower.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The present moment is a powerful goddess.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If a man or woman is born ten years sooner or later, their whole aspect and performance shall be different.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Piety, like nobility, has its aristocracy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The field of experience is the whole universe in all directions. Theory remains shut up within the limits of human faculties.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Don't give us your doubts, gives us your certainties, for we have doubts enough of our own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is bad governments, not bad people, who cause revolutions.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
