More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Not art and science only, but patience will be required for the work.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
That which thy fathers have bequeathed to thee, earn it anew if thou wouldst possess it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Humor is one of the elements of genius--admirable as an adjunct but as soon as it becomes dominant, only a surrogate for genius.
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
If a good person does you wrong, act as though you had not noticed it. If we practice and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, soon the wholeworld will be blind and toothless.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sceptics are yet the most credulous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Shakespeare is dangerous to young poets they cannot but reproduce him, while they fancy that they produce themselves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If each one does their duty as an individual and if each one works in their own proper vocation, it will be right with the whole.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Be always resolute with the present hour. Every moment is of infinite value.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We must not take the faults of our youth with us into old age, for age brings along its own defects.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To me the external existence of my soul is proved from my idea of activity. If I work incessantly until my death, nature will give me another form of existence when the present can no longer sustain my spirit.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The most fortunate of men, Be he a king or commoner, is he Whose welfare is assured in his own home.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One always has time enough, if one will apply it well.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The shudder of awe is humanity's highest faculty, Even though this world is forever altering its values.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A life without love, without the presence of the beloved, is nothing but a mere magic-lantern show. We draw out slide after slide, swiftly tiring of each, and pushing it back to make haste for the next.
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
The greater part of all the mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is natural to man to regard himself as the final cause of creation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
