Money lost, something lost. Honor lost, much lost. Courage lost, everything lost-better you were never born
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Viewed from the summit of reason, all life looks like a malignant disease and the world like a madhouse.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For what one has in black and white, One can carry home in comfort.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Once you have missed the first buttonhole, you'll never manage to button up.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Forget not that the man who cannot enjoy his own natural gifts in silence, and find his reward in the exercise of them, will generally find himself badly off.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How can you come to know yourself? Never by thinking, always by doing. Try to do your duty, and you'll know right away what you amount to.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The present is a powerful deity. [Ger., Die Gegenwart ist eine machtige Gottin.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The soul-stirring image of death is no bugbear to the sage, and is looked on without despair by the pious. It teaches the former to live, and it strengthens the hopes of the latter in salvation in the midst of distress. Death is new life to both.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The best benefit we derive from history is the enthusiasm it excites.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The bed of flowers Loosens amain, The beauteous snowdrops Droop o'er the plain. The crocus opens Its glowing bud, Like emeralds others, Others, like blood. With saucy gesture Primroses flare, And roguish violets, Hidden with care And whatsoever There stirs and strives, The Spring's contented, If works and thrives.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In all times it is only individuals that have advanced science, not the age.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
True happiness springs from moderation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Certain faults are necessary to the individual if he is to exist.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One would give generous alms if one had the eyes to see the beauty of a cupped receiving hand.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let your trouble be Light will follow dark Though the heaven falls You may hear the lark.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Don't judge anyone harshly until you yourself have been through his experiences
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
