More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Just trust yourself and you'll learn the art of living.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I do not now begin, - I still adore Her whom I early cherish'd in my breast Then once again with prudence dispossess'd, And to whose heart I'm driven back once more. The love of Petrarch, that all-glorious love, Was unrequited, and, alas, full sad.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you start to think of your physical and moral condition, you usually find that you are sick.
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
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
Some books seem to have been written, not to teach us anything, but to let us know that the author has known something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whoever would do good in the world, ought not to deal in censure. We ought not to destroy, but rather construct.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The threshold is the place of expectation.
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
I believe in God and in nature and in the triumph of good over evil.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The beginning of faith is the beginning of fruitfulness but the beginning of unbelief, however glittering, is empty.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask from God.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
On the pinnacle of success man does not stand firm long.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
English plays, Atrocious in content, Absurd in form, Objectionable in action, Execrable EnglishTheatre.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What in us the women leave uncultivated, children cultivate when we retain them near us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is commonly the personal character of a writer which gives him his public significance. It is not imparted by his genius. Napoleon said of Corneille, Were he living I would make him a king but he did not read him. He read Racine, yet he said nothing of the kind of Racine.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world remains ever the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wer fremde Sprachen nicht kennt, weiss nichts von seiner eigenen.He who is ignorant of foreign languages, knows not his own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life seems so vulgar, so easily content with the commonplace things of every day, and yet it always nurses and cherishes certain higher claims in secret, and looks about for the means of satisfying them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature understands no jesting. She is always true, always serious, always severe. She is always right, and the errors are always those of man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
