More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You will find the most pronounced hatred of other nations on the lowest cultural levels. There is, though, a level where the hatred disappears completely and where one so to speak stands above the nations and where one experiences fortune or misfortune of a neighboring country as if they had happened to one's own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Superstition is part of the poetry of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The few of understanding, vision rare, Who veiled not from the herd their hearts, but tried, Poor generous fools, to lay their feelings bare, Them have men always burnt and crucified.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Old age is never honored among us, but only indulged, as childhood is and old men lose one of the most precious rights of man,--that of being judged by their peers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To live within limits. To want one thing. Or a few things very much and love them dearly. Cling to them, survey them from every angle. Become one with them - that is what makes the poet, the artist, the human being.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Our modern wars make many unhappy while they last and none happy when they are over.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If society gives up the right to impose the death penalty, then self-help will appear again and personal vendettas will be around the corner.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything that frees our spirit without giving us control of ourselves is ruinous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Oh how sweet it is to hear one's own convictions from another's lips.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature has neither kernel Nor shell
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
