More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Time itself is an element.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I believe in God and in nature and in the triumph of good over evil.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The formation of one's character ought to be everyone's chief aim.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My peace is gone, my heart is heavy. [Ger., Meine Ruh ist hin, Mein Herz ist schwer.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is commonly the personal character of a writer which gives him his public significance. It is not imparted by his genius. Napoleon said of Corneille, Were he living I would make him a king but he did not read him. He read Racine, yet he said nothing of the kind of Racine.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The finished man, you know, is difficult to please a growing mind will ever show you gratitude. --Faust 1, lines 182-3
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To know where a thing is we must have found it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Money lost, something lost. Honor lost, much lost. Courage lost, everything lost-better you were never born
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In all times it is only individuals that have advanced science, not the age.
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
No man learns to know his inmost nature by introspection, for he rates himself sometimes too low, and often too high, by his own measurement. Man knows himself only by comparing himself with other men it is life that touches his genuine worth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Gray is the color of all theory
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Music is either sacred or secular. The sacred agrees with its dignity, and here has its greatest effect on life, an effect that remains the same through all ages and epochs. Secular music should be cheerful throughout.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When a wife has a good husband, it is easily seen on her face.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am fully convinced that the soul is indestructible, and its activity will continue through eternity.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is not a single outward mark of courtesy that does not have a deep moral basis.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
At the end of life thoughts hitherto impossible come to the collected mind, like good spirits which let themselves down from the shining heights of the past.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If I say to the moment: 'Stay now! You are so beautiful'!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whoever strikes at marriage either by word or act undermines the foundation of all moral society.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
