More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The passions are like those demons with which Afrasahiab sailed down the Orus. Our only safety consists in keeping them asleep. If they we are lost.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To live in a great idea means to treat the impossible as though it were possible. It is just the same with a strong character and when an idea and a character meet, things arise which fill the world with wonder for thousands of years.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To witness two lovers is a spectacle for the gods.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What a man does not understand, he does not possess.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Piety is not an end, but a means: a means of attaining the highest culture by the purest tranquility of soul. Hence it may be observed that those who set up piety as an end and object are mostly hypocrites.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature does not suffer her veil to be taken from her, and what she does not choose to reveal to the spirit, thou wilt not wrest from her by levers and screws.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Of the book of books most wondrous is the tender book of love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am fully convinced that the soul is indestructible, and its activity will continue through eternity.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To think is easy. To act is hard. But the hardest thing in the world is to act in accordance with your thinking.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We will burn that bridge when we come to it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Yet he who grasps the moment's gift, He is the proper man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One should not search for anything behind the phenomena. They themselves are the message.
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
I am very anxious to please the public, particularly as it lives and lets live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing more fearful than imagination without taste. [Ger., Es ist nichts furchterlicher als Einbildungskraft ohne Geschmack.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As soon as you are in a social setting, you better take away the key to the lock of your heart and pocket it those who leave thekey in the lock are fools.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man is really alive only when he delights in the good-will of others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Humans fear reason, but they ought to fear stupidity- for reason can be hard, but stupidity can be fatal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
