More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One mind is enough for a thousand hands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life teaches us to be less harsh with ourselves and with others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Truth has to be repeated constantly, because Error also is being preached all the time, and not just by a few, but by the multitude. In the Press and Encyclopaedias, in Schools and Universities, everywhere Error holds sway, feeling happy and comfortable in the knowledge of having Majority on its side.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Only the heart without a stain knows perfect ease. [Ger., Ganz unbefleckt geniesst sich nur das Herz.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He only fears men who does not know them, and he who avoids them will soon misjudge them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Still this planet's soil for noble deeds grants scope abounding.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Since Time is not a person we can overtake when he is gone, let us honor him with mirth and cheerfulness of heart while he is passing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What then is your duty? What the day demands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are accustomed to see men deride what they do not understand, and snarl at the good and beautiful because it lies beyond their sympathies
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The best slave is the one who thinks he is free.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is no past we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternal now that builds and creates out of the past something new and better.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are shaped and fashioned by what we love
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
New inventions can and will be made however, nothing new can be thought of that concerns moral man. Everything has already been thought and said which at best we can express in different forms and give new expressions to.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything perfect in its kind has to transcend its own kind, it must become something different and incomparable. In some notes the nightingale is still a bird then it rises above its class and seems to suggest to every winged creature what singing is truly like.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My poor head is in such a whirl, my mind is all in bits.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He only earns his freedom and his life Who takes them every day by storm.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you are to accomplish all that one demands of you, you must overestimate your own worth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greatest evil that can befall man is that he should come to think ill of himself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
