Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world remains ever the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The rainbow mirrors human aims and action. Think, and more clearly wilt thou grasp it, seeing Life is but light in many-hued reflection.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To accept good advice is but to increase one's own ability.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever liberates our spirit, without also giving us mastery over ourselves, is destructive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Words are good, but there is something better. The best cannot be explained by words. The spirit in which we act is the chief matter. Action can only be only understood and represented by the spirit.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who enjoys doing and enjoys what he has done is happy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Napoleon affords us an example of the danger of elevating one's self to the absolute, and sacrificing everything to the carrying out of an idea.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When two men quarrel, who owns the cooler head is the more to blame.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We don't get to know anything but what we love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If in the infinite you want to stride, Just walk in the finite to every side.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When we treat man as he is, we make him worse than he is when we treat him as if he already were what he potentially could be, we make him what he should be.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Art is a mediator of the unspeakable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To a valet no man is a hero. [Ger., Es gibt fur den Kammerdiener keiner Helden.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
While man's desires and aspirations stir he cannot choose but err.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
