More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is not always needful for truth to take a definite shape it is enough if it hovers about us like a spirit and produces harmony if it is wafted through the air like the sound of a bell, grave and kindly.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred...unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature! We are surrounded by her and locked in her clasp: powerless to leave her, and powerless to come closer to her. Unasked and unwarned she takes us up into the whirl of her dance, and hurries on with us till we are weary and fall from her arms.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Duty is the demand of the hour.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Those only obtain love, for the most part, who seek it not.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We gladly put antiquity above our age but not posterity. Only a father doesn't begrudge his son's talent.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And future deeds crowded round us as the countless stars in the night. [Ger., Und kunftige Thaten drangen wie die Sterne Rings um uns her unzahlig aus der Nacht.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every solution of a problem is a new problem.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The hero draws inspiration from the virtue of his ancestors.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Talents are nurtured best in solitude, But character on life's tempestuous seas!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beware of wishing for anything in youth, because you will get it in middle age.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
two souls, alas, are housed within my breast, and each will wrestle for the mastery there.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Truth must be repeated again and again, because error is constantly being preached round about.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As soon as you are in a social setting, you better take away the key to the lock of your heart and pocket it those who leave thekey in the lock are fools.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is a very hard and troublesome thing to dispose of whole, half, and quarter-mistakes to sift them and assign the portion of truth to its proper place.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything which is properly business we must keep carefully separate from life. Business requires earnestness and method life must have a freed handling.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature reacts not only to physical disease, but also to moral weakness when the danger increases she gives us greater courage
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The happiest man is the one who finds happiness at home.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To understand one thing well is better than understanding many things by halves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
