Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
So then the year is repeating its old story again. We are come once more, thank God! to its most charming chapter. The violets and the Mayflowers are as its inscriptions or vignettes. It always makes a pleasant impression on us, when we open again at these pages of the book of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The church alone beyond all question Has for ill-gotten goods the right digestion.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is true, but that which is simple.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is the destiny of man, but to fill up the measure of his sufferings, and to drink his allotted cup of bitterness?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thou must (in commanding and winning, or serving and losing, suffering or triumphing) be either anvil or hammer.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All theory, my friend, is grey, But green is life's glad golden tree.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are not all equal, nor can we be so.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are people who make no mistakes because they never wish to do anything worth doing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is opposition that makes us productive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Fret not over the irretrievable, but ever act as if thy life were just begun.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In art it's not the thinking that does the job, but making.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We gladly put antiquity above our age but not posterity. Only a father doesn't begrudge his son's talent.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every bird has its decoy, and every man is led and misled in his own peculiar way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My counsel is, to force nothing, and rather to trifle and sleep away all unproductive days and hours, than on such days to compose something that will afterwards give no pleasure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Duty is the demand of the hour.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
This being busied with thoughts of immortality is for the noble classes and especially for women with nothing to do. A solid person, though, someone who already intends to be something worthy here, and who therefore has to strive daily, has to struggle and work, gives the world to come a rest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
