More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Know'st thou yesterday, its aim and reason? Work'st thou will today for worthier things? Then calmly wait the morrow's hidden season, And fear thou not, what hap soe'er it brings
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The most fortunate of men, Be he a king or commoner, is he Whose welfare is assured in his own home.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We can redeem anyone who strives unceasingly.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who has a task to perform must know how to take sides, or he is quite unworthy of it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Truth is a torch, but a terrific one therefore we all try to reach it with closed eyes, lest we should be scorched.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The works of Lavoisier and his associates operated upon many of us at that time like the Sun's rising after a night of moonshine: but Chemistry is now betrothed to the Mathematics, and is in consequence grown somewhat shy of her former admirers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Love, whose power youth feels, is not suitable for the elderly, just as little as anything that presupposes productivity. It is rare that productivity lasts through the years.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life seems so vulgar, so easily content with the commonplace things of every day, and yet it always nurses and cherishes certain higher claims in secret, and looks about for the means of satisfying them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The eternal feminine doth draw us upward. [Ger., Das Ewig-Weibliche zieht uns hinan.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Analysis and synthesis are both as necessary to the thinking spirit as inspiration and expiration to the organism.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man may twist as he pleases, and do what he pleases, but he inevitably comes back to the track to which nature has destined him.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All professional men are handicapped by not being allowed to ignore things which are useless.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do people conform to the instructions of us old ones? Each thinks he must know best about himself, and thus many are lost entirely.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The experiences show us just as we are they make us see our own defects.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We amuse ourselves painting our prison-walls with bright figures and brilliant landscapes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Judge a man's character by what he finds ridiculous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mind is found most acute and most uneasy in the morning. Uneasiness is, indeed, a species of sagacity - a passive sagacity. Fools are never uneasy.
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
It is related of an Englishman that he hanged himself to avoid the daily task of dressing and undressing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The senses do not deceive us, but the judgment does.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
