More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And those whom once my song had cheered and gladdened, If still they live, rove through the world now saddened.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing so terrible as activity without insight.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

For the rest, man is a confused creature he knows not whence he comes or whither he goes, he knows little of the world, and above all, he knows little of himself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One can stand anything except a succession of ordinary days
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wouldst thou ever roam abroad? See, what is good lies by thy side. Only learn to catch happiness, for happiness is ever by you.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A joy shared is a joy doubled.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The finished man, you know, is difficult to please a growing mind will ever show you gratitude. --Faust 1, lines 182-3
