More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The best benefit we derive from history is the enthusiasm it excites.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In all times it is only individuals that have advanced science, not the age.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And I have again observed, my dear friend, in this trifling affair, that misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than even malice and wickedness. At all events, the two latter are of less frequent occurrence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Zweck sein selbst ist jegliches Tier. Each animal is an end in itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I believe in God and in nature and in the triumph of good over evil.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is good for a nation but that which arises from its own core and its own general wants, without apish imitation of another.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Poor fool! in whose petty estimation all things are little.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Your messages I hear, but faith has not been given The dearest child of Faith is Miracle.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The summit charms us, the steps to it do not with the heights before our eyes, we like to linger in the plain. It is only a part of art that can be taught but the artist needs the whole. He who is only half instructed speaks much and is always wrong who knows it wholly is content with acting and speaks seldom or late.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All perishable is but an allegory.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A judge who cannot punish, in the end associates themselves with the criminal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are not all equal, nor can we be so.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We can always redeem the man who aspires and strives.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We can stand only a certain amount of unhappiness anything beyond that annihilates us or passes us by, leaving us apathethetic.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The artist has a twofold relation to nature he is at once her master and her slave.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
