More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who does not expect a million readers should not write a line.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The day is of infinite length for him who knows how to appreciate and use it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What sort of faults may we retain, nay, even cherish in ourselves? Those faults which are rather pleasant than offensive to others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing can be compared to the new life that the discovery of another country provides for a thoughtful person. Although I am still the same I believe to have changed to the bones.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Since Time is not a person we can overtake when he is gone, let us honor him with mirth and cheerfulness of heart while he is passing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Mannerism is always longing to have done, and has no true enjoyment in work. A genuine, really great talent, on the other hand, has its greatest happiness in execution.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you wish a wise answer, you must put a rational question.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Give shape, artist! don't talk! Your poem be but a breath.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What then is your duty? What the day demands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No one has ever learned fully to know themselves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We all walk in mysteries. We are surrounded by an atmosphere about which we still know nothing at all.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The soul of the Christian religion is reverence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He loves not who does not see the faults of the beloved as virtues.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am part of the part that once was everything, Part of the darkness which gave birth to light… Mephistopheles, from Faust.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Not art and science only, but patience will be required for the work.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
