More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sowing is not as difficult as reaping.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Painting predicates what man wants to see, and what man ought to see, not what he ordinarily sees.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every step of life shows much caution is required.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And I have again observed, my dear friend, in this trifling affair, that misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than even malice and wickedness. At all events, the two latter are of less frequent occurrence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Plunge boldly into the thick of life, and seize it where you will, it is always interesting.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The society of women is the element of good manners.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Napoleon for the sake of a good name broke in pieces half the world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Self knowledge is best learned not by contemplation, but by action.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A word spoken is a terrible thing when it suddenly utters what the heart has long allowed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let no one be ashamed to say yes today if yesterday he said no. Or to say no today if yesterday he said yes. For that is life. Never to have changed-what a pitiable thing of which to boast!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Men in a state of nature, uncivilized nations, children, have a great fondness for colors in their utmost brightness, and especially for yellow-red.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The art of governing is a great metier, requiring the whole man, and it is therefore not well for a ruler to have too strong tendencies for other affairs.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If youth is a fault, it is one that one gets rid of soon enough.
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
I've often heard it said a preacher might learn with a comedian for a teacher.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ye great teachers: listen to what you say!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Why go further and further, Look, happiness is right here. Learn how to grab hold of luck, For luck is always there.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The spectacle of Nature is always new, for she is always renewing the spectators. Life is her most exquisite invention and death is her expert contrivance to get plenty of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Not art and science only, but patience will be required for the work.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whoever gives himself up to solitude, Ah! he is soon alone.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
