More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are two things parents should give their children roots and wings. Roots to give them bearing and a sense of belonging, but also wings to help free them from constraints and prejudices and give them other ways to travel (or rather, to fly).
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All that is noble is in itself of a quiet nature, and appears to sleep until it is aroused and summoned forth by contrast.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sometimes I don't understand how another can love her, is allowed to love her, since I love her so completely myself, so intensely, so fully, grasp nothing, know nothing, have nothing but her!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When two people are really happy about one another one can generally assume they are mistaken.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If all these devils really exist it proves there must be angels, too.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A human being needs only a small plot of ground on which to be happy, and even less to lie beneath.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Boldness has power, magic and genius in it.
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
Everything that we encounter leaves traces behind. Everything contributes imperceptibly to our education
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Don't say that you want to give, but go ahead and give! You'll never catch up with a mere hope.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let's plunge ourselves into the roar of time, the whirl of accident may pain and pleasure, success and failure, shift as they will -- it's only action that can make a man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For to give is the business of the rich. [Lat., Denn Geben ist Sache des Reichen.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is not always needful for truth to take a definite shape it is enough if it hovers about us like a spirit and produces harmony if it is wafted through the air like the sound of a bell, grave and kindly.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Higher aims are in themselves more valuable, even if unfulfilled, than lower ones quite attained.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do thine own task, and be therewith content.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The arts are the salt of the earth as salt relates to food, the arts relate to technology.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Our senses don't deceive us: our judgment does
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Idea and experience will never coincide in the center only through art and action are they united.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
