More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Passions are vices or virtues to their highest powers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let's plunge ourselves into the roar of time, the whirl of accident may pain and pleasure, success and failure, shift as they will -- it's only action that can make a man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What I possess I would gladly retain. Change amuses the mind, yet scarcely profits.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing more frightful than for a teacher to know only what his scholars are intended to know.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Passions are defects or virtues in the highest power.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A true German can't stand the French, Yet willingly he drinks their wines.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
On all the peaks lies peace.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The rainbow mirrors human aims and action. Think, and more clearly wilt thou grasp it, seeing Life is but light in many-hued reflection.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The one who acts is always without conscience nobody has a conscience but the contemplative person.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In happy ignorance, I sighed for a world I did not know, where I hoped to find every pleasure and enjoyment which my heart could desire and now, on my return from that wide world... how many disappointed hopes and unsuccessful plans have I brought back!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The whole art of living consists in giving up existence in order to exist.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No prudent antagonist thinks light of his adversaries.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The angles even Draw strength from gazing on its glance, Though none its meaning fathom may The world's unwither'd countenance Is bright as at creation's day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ingratitude is always a kind of weakness. I have never known men of ability to be ungrateful.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You acquire a language most readily in the country where it is spoken you study mineralogy best among miners and so with everything else.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are accustomed to see men deride what they do not understand, and snarl at the good and beautiful because it lies beyond their sympathies
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For usually people resist as long as they can to dismiss the fool they harbor in their bosom, they resist to confess a major mistake or to admit a truth that makes them despair.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every spoken word arouses our self-will.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
