More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is worse than active ignorance.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who is firm and resolute in will molds the world to himself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature! We are surrounded by her and locked in her clasp: powerless to leave her, and powerless to come closer to her. Unasked and unwarned she takes us up into the whirl of her dance, and hurries on with us till we are weary and fall from her arms.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days... What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To act is easy, to think is hard to act according to our thought is troublesome.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I will listen to anyone's convictions, but pray keep your doubts to yourself.
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
All sects seem to me to be right in what they assert, and wrong in what they deny.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Out of moderation a pure happiness springs.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If we take people only as they are, then we make them worse if we treat them as if they were what they should be, then we bring them to where they can be brought.
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
It is not doing the thing we like to do, but liking the thing we have to do, that makes life blessed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life is the childhood of our immortality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The best benefit we derive from history is the enthusiasm it excites.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are two things children should get from their parents: roots and wings.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Excellence is rarely found, more rarely valued.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The aim of living is life itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ye great teachers: listen to what you say!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The one who acts is always without conscience nobody has a conscience but the contemplative person.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
