More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One can stand anything except a succession of ordinary days
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is the color closest to light. In its utmost purity it always implies the nature of brightness and has a cheerful, serene, gently stimulating character. Hence, experience teaches us that yellow makes a thoroughly warm and comforting impression.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A vi'let on the meadow grew, That no one saw, that no one knew, It was a modest flower. A shepherdess pass'd by that way-- Light footed, pretty and so gay That way she came, Softly warbling forth her lay.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I had toward the poetic art a peculiar relation which was only practical after I had cherished in my mind for a long time a subject which possessed me, a model which inspired me, a predecessor who attracted me, until at length, after I had molded it
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Painting and tattooing the body is a return to animalism.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To the world you might be one person, but to one person, you might be the world. Kindness is the golden chain by which our world is bound together.
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
It has been said that figures rule the world. Maybe. But I am sure that figures show us whether it is being ruled well or badly.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Excellence is rarely found, more rarely valued.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Live dangerously and you live right.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greatest genius will not be worth much if he pretends to draw exclusively from his own resources
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For to give is the business of the rich. [Lat., Denn Geben ist Sache des Reichen.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is true, but that which is simple.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The real scholar learns how to evolve the unknown from the known, and draws near the master.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Human life runs its course in the metamorphosis between receiving and giving.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything is both simpler than we can imagine and more entangled than we can conceive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who cannot draw on three thousand years is living from hand to mouth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The formation of one's character ought to be everyone's chief aim.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is worth more than this day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
