More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Precaution is better than cure.
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
Riches amassed in haste will diminish but those collected by hand and little by little will multiply.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All professional men are handicapped by not being allowed to ignore things which are useless.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We blame equally him who is too proud to put a proper value on his own merit and him who prizes too highly his spurious worth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything is both simpler than we can imagine and more entangled than we can conceive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is repetition everywhere, and nothing is found only once in the world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Are we not also married to conscience which we would love to get rid of often enough since it is more bothersome than a man or a woman ever could become?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Action has magic, grace and power in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One would give generous alms if one had the eyes to see the beauty of a cupped receiving hand.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In all times it is only individuals that have advanced science, not the age.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
But one must know where one stands, and where the others wish to go.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To tremble before anticipated evils is to bemoan what thou hast never lost.
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
Painting predicates what man wants to see, and what man ought to see, not what he ordinarily sees.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is the true test of character unless it be its progressive development in the bustle and turmoil, in the action and reaction of daily life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Over all the mountain tops is peace. In all treetops you perceive scarcely a breath. The little birds in the forest are silent. Wait then soon, you too, will have peace.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hold your powers together for something good and let everything go that is for you without result and is not suited to you.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are but few who have ideas and are, at the same time, capable of action. Ideas enlarge but stymie, action enlivens but confines.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The threshold is the place of expectation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
