More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
God help us -- for art is long, and life so short.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Toleration ought in reality to be merely a transitory mood. It must lead to recognition. To tolerate is to affront.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is the color closest to light. In its utmost purity it always implies the nature of brightness and has a cheerful, serene, gently stimulating character. Hence, experience teaches us that yellow makes a thoroughly warm and comforting impression.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I respect the man who knows distinctly what he wants.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever Nature undertakes, she can only accomplish it in a sequence. She never makes a leap.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I have possessed that heart, that noble soul, in whose presence I seemed to be more than I really was, because I was all that I could be.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Truth is a torch, but a terrific one therefore we all try to reach it with closed eyes, lest we should be scorched.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Age does not make us childish, as some say it finds us true children.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything that frees our spirit without giving us control of ourselves is ruinous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world is full of contradiction.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Girls we love for what they are young men for what they promise to be.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do not, I beg you, look for anything behind phenomena. They are themselves their own lesson.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
New inventions can and will be made however, nothing new can be thought of that concerns moral man. Everything has already been thought and said which at best we can express in different forms and give new expressions to.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is more disgusting than the majority: because it consists of a few powerful predecessors, of rogues who adapt themselves, of weak who assimilate themselves, and the masses who imitate without knowing at all what they want.
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
Colors are light's suffering and joy
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Knowing is not enough we must apply. Willing is not enough we must do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To the world you might be one person, but to one person, you might be the world. Kindness is the golden chain by which our world is bound together.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If we are out of synch with ourselves, everything is out of synch for us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beautiful is greater than Good, for it includes the Good.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
