More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves otherwise, we harden.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably deceives himself. Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
So dear night the half of life is, And the fairest half indeed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I wish the crowd to feel itself well treated, Especially since it lives and lets me live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Behavior is a mirror in which every one shows his image. [Ger., Das Betragen ist ein Spiegel in welchem jeder sein Bild zeigt.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Blood is a very special juice.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than malice and wickedness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is not fully understood is not possessed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am what I am, so take me as I am!.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One should not wish anyone disagreeable conditions of life but for him who is involved in them by chance, they are touchstones of characters and of the most decisive value to man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Reason can never be popular. Passions and feelings may become popular, but reason will always remain the sole property of a few eminent individuals.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As all Nature's thousands changes But one changeless God proclaim So in Art's wide kingdom ranges One sole meaning still the same: This is Truth, eternal Reason, Which from Beauty takes its dress, And serene through time and season Stands aye in loveliness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is not a single outward mark of courtesy that does not have a deep moral basis.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Superstition belongs to the essence of mankind and takes refuge, when one thinks one has suppressed it completely, in the strangest nooks and crannies once it is safely ensconced there, it suddenly reappears.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world is so great and rich, and life so full of variety, that you can never lack occasions for poems.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If the whole world I once could see On free soil stand, with the people free Then to the moment might I say, Linger awhile. . .so fair thou art.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
They teach in academies far too many things, and far too much that is useless.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As in Rome there is, apart from the Romans, a population of statues, so apart from this real world there is a world of illusion, almost more potent, in which most men live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The history of science is science itself the history of the individual, the individual.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Oh how sweet it is to hear one's own convictions from another's lips.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
