More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you are to accomplish all that one demands of you, you must overestimate your own worth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mob has nothing to lose, everything to gain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All that is noble is in itself of a quiet nature, and appears to sleep until it is aroused and summoned forth by contrast.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How happy he who can still hope to lift himself from this sea of error! What we know not, that we are anxious to possess, and cannot use what we know.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Against great advantages in another, there are no means of defending ourselves except love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He loves not who does not see the faults of the beloved as virtues.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The society of women is the element of good manners.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Architecture is frozen music. [Ger., Die Backunst ist eine erstarrte Musik.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Self-love exaggerates our faults as well as our virtues.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life's objective is life itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One needs only to get old to become milder I don't see anyone make a mistake I hadn't also made.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
