More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When the healthy nature of man acts as a whole, when he feels himself to be in the world as in a great, beautiful, noble, and valued whole, when harmonious ease affords him a pure and free delight, then the universe, if it could experience itself, would exult, as having attained its goal, and admire the climax of its own becoming and essence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Art is long, life short, judgment difficult, opportunity transient. To act is easy, to think is hard to act according to our thought is troublesome. Every beginning is cheerful: the threshold is the place of expectation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything in the world may be endured, except only a succession of prosperous days. [Ger., Alles in der Welt lasst sich ertragen, Nur nicht eine Reihe von schonen Tagen.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Oh how sweet it is to hear one's own convictions from another's lips.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One glance, one word from you gives more pleasure than all the wisdom of this world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is not enough to take steps which may someday lead to a goal each step must be itself a goal and a step likewise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greatest joy of a thinking man is to have searched the explored and to quietly revere the unexplored.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I let everyone follow his own bent, that I may be free to follow mine.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
