More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Very few people love others for what they are rather, they love what they lend them, their own selves, their own idea of them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thank God when He lays a burden on thee, and thank Him when He takes it off.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Humans fear reason, but they ought to fear stupidity- for reason can be hard, but stupidity can be fatal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The use of a thing is only a part of its significance. To know anything thoroughly, to have the full command of it in all its appliances, we must study it on its own account, independently of any special application.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
That which is eternal in Woman lifts us above.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The arts are the salt of the earth as salt relates to food, the arts relate to technology.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever necessity lays upon thee, endure whatever she commands, do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You shall abstain, shall abstain. That is the eternal song.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is the intermixing of different genres.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I could never have known so well how paltry men are, and how little they care for really high aims, if I had not tested them by my scientific researches. Thus I saw that most men only care for science so far as they get a living by it, and that they worship even error when it affords them a subsistence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Alas! how much there is in education, and in our social institutions, to prepare us and our children for insanity.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If the world does improve on the whole, yet youth must always begin anew, and go through the stages of culture from the beginning.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The realization of the self is only possible if one is productive, if one can give birth to one's own potentialities.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
This is the highest wisdom that I own freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every author in some way portrays himself in his works, even if it be against his will.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mob has nothing to lose, everything to gain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Where there are no women there are no good manners
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No one feels himself easy in a garden which does not look like the open country.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything is both simpler than we can imagine and more entangled than we can conceive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
