More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beauty and Genius must be kept afar if one would avoid becoming their slave.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One glance, one word from you gives more pleasure than all the wisdom of this world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Painting and tattooing the body is a return to animalism.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The coward only threatens when he is safe.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is not given to us to grasp the truth, which is identical with the divine, directly. We perceive it only in reflection, in example and symbol, in singular and related appearances. It meets us as a kind of life which is incomprehensible to us, and yet we cannot free ourselves from the desire to comprehend it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whenever I hear people talking about liberal ideas, I am always astounded that men should love to fool themselves with empty sounds. An idea should never be liberal it must be vigorous, positive, and without loose ends so that it may fulfill its divine mission and be productive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No man learns to know his inmost nature by introspection, for he rates himself sometimes too low, and often too high, by his own measurement. Man knows himself only by comparing himself with other men it is life that touches his genuine worth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To every one [Nature] appears in a form of his own. She hides herself in a thousand names and terms, and is always the same.
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
He only earns his freedom and his life Who takes them every day by storm.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As our inclinations, so our opinions.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Does not man lack the force at the very point where he needs it most? And when he soars upward in joy, or sinks down in suffering, is not checked in both, is he not returned again to the dull, cold sphere of awareness, just when he was longing to lose himself in the fullness of the infinite.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The rose is wont with pride to swell, and ever seeks to rise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My peace is gone, my heart is heavy. [Ger., Meine Ruh ist hin, Mein Herz ist schwer.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Where there are no women there are no good manners
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The history of science is science itself the history of the individual, the individual.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The best slave is the one who thinks he is free.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
People are always talking about originality, but what do they mean? As soon as we are born, the world begins to work upon us, and this goes on to the end.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Names are but noise and smoke, Obscuring heavenly light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
