More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you want to understand poetry, You have to go to its origin, If you want to understand the poet, You have to go to the Poet's home.
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
In art, to express the infinite one should suggest infinitely more than is expressed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him he must regard himself as greater than he is.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No man learns to know his inmost nature by introspection, for he rates himself sometimes too low, and often too high, by his own measurement. Man knows himself only by comparing himself with other men it is life that touches his genuine worth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you've never eaten while crying you don t know what life tastes like.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Age does not make us childish, as some say it finds us true children.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The person of analytic or critical intellect finds something ridiculous in everything. The person of synthetic or constructive intellect, in almost nothing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Where there are no women there are no good manners
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every beginning is cheerful.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Care is taken that trees do not grow into the sky.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world of reason is to be regarded as a great and immortal being, who ceaselessly works out what is necessary, and so makes himself lord also over what is accidental.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is part of you, you cannot get rid of, even if you were to throw it away.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No one has ever learned fully to know themselves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greatest joy of a thinking man is to have searched the explored and to quietly revere the unexplored.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To live as one likes is plebian the noble man aspires to order and law.
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
