Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The art of living rightly is like all arts it must be learned and practiced with incessant care.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you have science and art, You also have religion But if you don't have them, You better have religion.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The clever reader who is capable or reading between these lines what does not stand written in them but is nevertheless implied will be able to form some conception.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How happy he who can still hope to lift himself from this sea of error! What we know not, that we are anxious to possess, and cannot use what we know.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A wounded heart can with difficulty be cured. [Ger., Doch ein gekranktes Herz erholt sich schwer.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One is never satisfied with the portrait of a person that one knows.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thou tremblest before anticipated ills, and still bemoanest what thou never losest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A person hears only what they understand.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Culture which smooth the whole world licks, Also unto the devil sticks.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
