More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
[Nature's] crown is Love. Only through Love can we come near her. She puts gulfs between all things, and all things strive to be interfused. She isolates everything, that she may draw everything together. With a few draughts from the cup of Love she repays for a life full of trouble.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Woman-Soul leadeth us upward and on!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I hate all explanations they who make them deceive either themselves or the other party,-generally both.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All beginnings are delightful the threshold is the place to pause.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Habit is the most imperious of all masters.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man does not mind being blamed for his faults, and being punished for them, and he patiently suffers much for them but he becomes impatient if he is required to give them up.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wisdom is found only in truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Evil One has left, the evil ones remain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
