More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Christian religion, though scattered and abroad will in the end gather itself together at the foot of the cross.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Alas! how much there is in education, and in our social institutions, to prepare us and our children for insanity.
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
One doesn't always lose when one has to do without.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Music is either sacred or secular. The sacred agrees with its dignity, and here has its greatest effect on life, an effect that remains the same through all ages and epochs. Secular music should be cheerful throughout.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One cannot develop taste from what is of average quality but only from the very best.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Time itself is an element.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Gray are all the theories, But green is the tree of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Poor fool! in whose petty estimation all things are little.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man knows himself only insofar as he knows the world, becoming aware of it if only within himself, and of himself self only within it. Each new subject, well observed, opens up within us a new organ of thought.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Errors belong to libraries truth, to the human mind.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who possesses art and science has religion he who does not possess them, needs religion.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Make the most of time, it flies away so fast yet method will teach you to win time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Humans fear reason, but they ought to fear stupidity- for reason can be hard, but stupidity can be fatal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
So, lively brisk old fellow, don't let age get you down. White hairs or not, you can still be a lover.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A noble soul alone can noble souls attract And knows alone, as ye, to hold them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who strives always to the utmost, him can we save.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Why go further and further, Look, happiness is right here. Learn how to grab hold of luck, For luck is always there.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The art of living rightly is like all arts it must be learned and practiced with incessant care.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
