Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
With knowledge comes more doubt.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Enjoy what you can, endure what you must.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is more fearful than imagination without taste.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing in the world more pitiable than an irresolute man, oscillating between two feelings, who would willingly unite the two and who does not perceive that nothing can unite them
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One says a lot in vain, refusing The other mainly hears the No.
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
The most damaging prejudice consists of banning any kind of investigation of nature.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Woman-Soul leadeth us upward and on!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
