Originality provokes originality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The rabble also vent their rage in words. [Ger., Es macht das Volk sich auch mit Worten Lust.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The history of mankind is his character.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Mere curiosity adds wings to every step.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who is wise puts aside all claims which may dissipate his attention, and confining himself to one branch excels in that.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Many hammer all over the wall and believe that with each blow they hit the nail on the head.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For usually people resist as long as they can to dismiss the fool they harbor in their bosom, they resist to confess a major mistake or to admit a truth that makes them despair.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who cannot draw on three thousand years is living from hand to mouth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ambition and love are the wings of great actions.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do you want to live happily? Travel with two bags, one for giving, the other for receiving.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The summit charms us, the steps to it do not with the heights before our eyes, we like to linger in the plain. It is only a part of art that can be taught but the artist needs the whole. He who is only half instructed speaks much and is always wrong who knows it wholly is content with acting and speaks seldom or late.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greater part of all the mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Your messages I hear, but faith has not been given The dearest child of Faith is Miracle.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What we don't understand we don't possess.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beware of wishing for anything in youth, because you will get it in middle age.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Energy will do anything that can be done in the world and no talents, no circumstances, no opportunities will make a two-legged animal a man without it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are surrounded by abysses, but the greatest of all depths is in our own heart, and an irresistible leaning leads us there. Draw thyself from thyself!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If a man or woman is born ten years sooner or later, their whole aspect and performance shall be different.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
