More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are accustomed to see men deride what they do not understand, and snarl at the good and beautiful because it lies beyond their sympathies
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you have science and art, You also have religion But if you don't have them, You better have religion.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thus one can observe that those who proclaim piety as their goal and purpose usually turn into hypocrites.
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
Everything that we call Invention or Discovery in the higher sense of the word is the serious exercise and activity of an original feeling for truth, which, after a long course of silent cultivation, suddenly flashes out into fruitful knowledge.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do not hurry do not rest.

Man errs, till he has ceased to strive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

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
Architecture is crystallized music.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Willing is not enough, we must do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Your messages I hear, but faith has not been given The dearest child of Faith is Miracle.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is worth more than this day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let us live in as small a circle as we will, we are either debtors or creditors before we have had time to look around.

Women are silver dishes into which we put golden apples.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
