More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Many hammer all over the wall and believe that with each blow they hit the nail on the head.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The style of writing required in the great world is distinguished by a free and daring grace, a careless security, a fine and sharp polish, a delicate and perfect taste while that fitted for the people is characterized by a vigorous natural fulness, a profound depth of feeling, and an engaging naivete.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The theater has often been at variance with the pulpit they ought not to quarrel. How much is it to be wished that in both the celebration of nature and of God were intrusted to none but men of noble minds.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything that we encounter leaves traces behind. Everything contributes imperceptibly to our education
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How marvelous, wide and broad is my Inheritance! Time is my property, my estate is time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Blood is a juice of rarest quality. [Ger., Blut ist ein ganz beondrer Saft.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everywhere, we learn only from those whom we love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If a good person does you wrong, act as though you had not noticed it. If we practice and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, soon the wholeworld will be blind and toothless.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Woe to him who would ascribe something like reason to Chance, and make a religion of surrendering to it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The rose is wont with pride to swell, and ever seeks to rise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Energy will do anything that can be done in the world and no talents, no circumstances, no opportunities will make a two-legged animal a man without it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Certain defects are necessary for the existence of individuality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is bad governments, not bad people, who cause revolutions.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Errors belong to libraries truth, to the human mind.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do you want to live happily? Travel with two bags, one for giving, the other for receiving.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Why look for conspiracy when stupidity can explain so much
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
