More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is better to do the smallest thing in the world than to hold half an hour to be too small a thing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And those whom once my song had cheered and gladdened, If still they live, rove through the world now saddened.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Help me to discover Thy truth, O Lord, and preserve me from those who have already found it
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let there be truth between us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
People are always talking about originality, but what do they mean? As soon as we are born, the world begins to work upon us, and this goes on to the end.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is as certain as it is strange that truth and error come from one and the same source. Thus it is that we are often not at liberty to do violence to error, because at the same time we do violence to truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Error is to truth as sleep is to waking. I have observed that one turns, as if refreshed, from error back to truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wishes are premonitions of abilities.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The present moment is a powerful goddess.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you wish to advance into the infinite, explore the finite in all directions.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life is not anything, but an opportunity for something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One alone does not help, but rather he who unites with many at the right moment.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Mere curiosity adds wings to every step.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Someone criticized an elderly man for wooing young women. He replied that that was the only way to rejuvenation, which was, afterall, everybody's wish.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Divide and rule, a sound motto. Unite and lead, a better one.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity. The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they are dim, the whole world is clouded.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What sort of faults may we retain, nay, even cherish in ourselves? Those faults which are rather pleasant than offensive to others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In happy ignorance, I sighed for a world I did not know, where I hoped to find every pleasure and enjoyment which my heart could desire and now, on my return from that wide world... how many disappointed hopes and unsuccessful plans have I brought back!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thank God when he oppresses you, and again when he releases you.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
