More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is no patriotic art.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To live within limits. To want one thing. Or a few things very much and love them dearly. Cling to them, survey them from every angle. Become one with them - that is what makes the poet, the artist, the human being.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Many hammer all over the wall and believe that with each blow they hit the nail on the head.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Precaution is better than cure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Not the maker of plans and promises, but rather the one who offers faithful service in small matters. This is the person who is most likely to achieve what is good and lasting.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you call a thing bad you do little, if you call a thing good you do much

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A king there was once reigning, Who had a goodly flea, Him loved he without feigning, As his own son were he!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man errs, till he has ceased to strive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The more one knows, the more one comprehends, the more one realizes that everything turns in a circle.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am very anxious to please the public, particularly as it lives and lets live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mediator of the inexpressible is the work of art.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Habit is the most imperious of all masters.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Where a man has a passion for meditating without the capacity of thinking, a particular idea fixes itself fast, and soon creates a mental disease.

Manners form the great charm of women.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
