More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is more damaging to the truth than an old error.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Is it life, I ask, is it even prudence, To bore thyself and bore the students?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For what one has in black and white, One can carry home in comfort.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I nothing had, and yet enough for youth--Joy in Illusion, ardent thirst for Truth. Give unrestrained, the old emotion, The bliss that touched the verge of pain, The strength of Hate, Love's deep devotion,--O, give me back my youth again!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Were the eye not of the sun, How could we behold the light? If God's might and ours were not as one, How could His work enchant our sight?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who cannot love must learn to flatter.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No sacred fane requires us to submit to insult.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The rose is wont with pride to swell, and ever seeks to rise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One lives but once in the world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If I love you, what business is it of yours?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If we are out of synch with ourselves, everything is out of synch for us.
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
Then to the depths! - I could as well say height: It's all the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let us not dream that reason can ever be popular. Passions, emotions, may be made popular but reason remains ever the property of an elect few.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Opponents fancy they refute us when they repeat their own opinion and pay no attention to ours.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For many people, one of the most frustrating aspects of life is not being able to understand other people's behavior.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For to give is the business of the rich. [Lat., Denn Geben ist Sache des Reichen.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What we don't understand we don't possess.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is not given to us to grasp the truth, which is identical with the divine, directly. We perceive it only in reflection, in example and symbol, in singular and related appearances. It meets us as a kind of life which is incomprehensible to us, and yet we cannot free ourselves from the desire to comprehend it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When you lose interest in anything, you also lose the memory for it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
