More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Mysteries are not necessarily miracles.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Our wishes are presentiments of the abilities that lie in us, harbingers of what we will be able to accomplish.
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
To appreciate the noble is a gain which can never be torn from us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Choose well. Your choice is brief, and yet endless.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One would give generous alms if one had the eyes to see the beauty of a cupped receiving hand.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am very anxious to please the public, particularly as it lives and lets live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is related of an Englishman that he hanged himself to avoid the daily task of dressing and undressing.
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
Fools and wise men are equally harmless. It is the half-fools and half-wise that are dangerous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He loves not who does not see the faults of the beloved as virtues.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
This is the true measure of love, When we believe that we alone can love, That no one could ever have loved so before us, And that no one will ever love in the same way after us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I reverence the individual who understands distinctly what he wishes who unweariedly advances, who knows the means conducive to his object, and can seize and use them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
God help us -- for art is long, and life so short.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I have possessed that heart, that noble soul, in whose presence I seemed to be more than I really was, because I was all that I could be.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One can stand anything except a succession of ordinary days
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hell begins the day that God grants you the vision to see all that you could have done, should have done, and would have done, but did not do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I could never have known so well how paltry men are, and how little they care for really high aims, if I had not tested them by my scientific researches. Thus I saw that most men only care for science so far as they get a living by it, and that they worship even error when it affords them a subsistence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every person above the ordinary has a certain mission that they are called to fulfill.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I respect the man who knows distinctly what he wants.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
