More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And I like those authors best whose scenes describe my own situation in life-- and the friends who are about me whose stories touch me with interest, from resembling my own homely existence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life is the childhood of our immortality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is worth more than this day. You cannot relive yesterday. Tomorrow is still beyond your reach.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Words express neither objects nor ourselves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Individuality of expression is the beginning and end of all art.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To blow is not to play on the flute you must move the fingers. [Ger., Blasen ist nicht floten, ihr musst die Finger bewegen.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Action has magic, grace and power in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Talk well of the absent whenever you have the opportunity.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
They should be ashamed of themselves, all these sober people!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thus I reel from desire to fulfillment and in fulfillment languish for desire.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The deepest, the only theme of human history, compared to which all others are of subordinate importance, is the conflict of skepticism with faith.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Treat a person as they are, they will remain so. Treat a person the way that person can be and is capable of being and that person will become as he or she can be and should be.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Great endowments often announce themselves in youth in the form of singularity and awkwardness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What one has wished for in youth, in old age one has in abundance.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beauty vanishes virtue is lasting.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I reverence the individual who understands distinctly what he wishes who unweariedly advances, who knows the means conducive to his object, and can seize and use them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The rose is wont with pride to swell, and ever seeks to rise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am certain that I have been here as I am now a thousand times before, and I hope to return a thousand times... Man is a dialogue between nature and God. On other planets this dialogue will doubtless be of a higher and profounder character. What is lacking is Self-Knowledge. After that the rest will follow.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
This being busied with thoughts of immortality is for the noble classes and especially for women with nothing to do. A solid person, though, someone who already intends to be something worthy here, and who therefore has to strive daily, has to struggle and work, gives the world to come a rest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One cannot always be a hero, but one can always be a man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
