More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A human being needs only a small plot of ground on which to be happy, and even less to lie beneath.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No one has ever learned fully to know themselves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who does not know foreign languages does not know anything about his own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Science and art belong to the whole world, and before them vanish the barriers of nationality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than malice and wickedness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life is but a preparation for what there is to come.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred...unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Only the heart without a stain knows perfect ease. [Ger., Ganz unbefleckt geniesst sich nur das Herz.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Just trust yourself and you'll learn the art of living.
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
He who enjoys doing and enjoys what he has done is happy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Confronted by outstanding merit, there is no way of saving one's ego except by love
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The society of women is the element of good manners.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Of the book of books most wondrous is the tender book of love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The iron hand of necessity commands, and her stern decree is supreme law, to which the gods even must submit. In deep silence rules the uncounselled sister of eternal fate. Whatever she lays upon thee, endure perform whatever she commands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The experiences show us just as we are they make us see our own defects.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Superstition is rooted in a much deeper and more sensitive layer of the psyche than skepticism.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is the universal? The single case. What is the particular? Millions of cases.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When a wife has a good husband, it is easily seen on her face.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It used to happen, and still happens, to me to take no pleasure in a work of art at the first sight of it, because it is too much for me but if I suspect any merit in it, I try to get at it and then I never fail to make the most gratifying discoveries--to find new qualities in the work itself and new faculties in myself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
