More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Old age is never honored among us, but only indulged, as childhood is and old men lose one of the most precious rights of man,--that of being judged by their peers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every author in some way portrays himself in his works, even if it be against his will.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature is the living, visible garment of God.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
This being busied with thoughts of immortality is for the noble classes and especially for women with nothing to do. A solid person, though, someone who already intends to be something worthy here, and who therefore has to strive daily, has to struggle and work, gives the world to come a rest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A reasonable man needs only to practice moderation to find happiness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The arts are the salt of the earth as salt relates to food, the arts relate to technology.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Higher aims are in themselves more valuable, even if unfulfilled, than lower ones quite attained.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As long as you are not aware of the continual law of Die and Be Again, you are merely a vague guest on a dark Earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In comradeship is danger countered best.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man can only endure a certain degree of unhappiness what is beyond that either annihilates him or passes by him and leaves him apathetic
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What you have inherited from your forefathers, it takes work to make it your own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Superstition is rooted in a much deeper and more sensitive layer of the psyche than skepticism.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Literature is a fragment of a fragment. Of all that ever happened, or has been said, but a fraction has been written and of this but little is extant.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Here too it’s masquerade, I find: As everywhere, the dance of mind. I grasped a lovely masked procession, And caught things from a horror show… I’d gladly settle for a false impression, If it would last a little longer, though.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No prudent antagonist thinks light of his adversaries.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I look upon all four Gospels as thoroughly genuine, for there shines forth from them the reflected splendor of a sublimity proceeding from Jesus Christ.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sceptics are yet the most credulous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He only fears men who does not know them, and he who avoids them will soon misjudge them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Before you can do something, you must first be something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The hardest thing is to see what's under your very eyes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
