More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
People have a peculiar pleasure in making converts, that is, in causing others to enjoy what they enjoy, thus finding their own likeness represented and reflected back to them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am certain that I have been here as I am now a thousand times before, and I hope to return a thousand times... Man is a dialogue between nature and God. On other planets this dialogue will doubtless be of a higher and profounder character. What is lacking is Self-Knowledge. After that the rest will follow.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

As long as you don't practice it, this dying and becoming, You are only a dreary guest on this dark earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing outside of us that is not at the same time in us, and as the external world has its colors the eye, too, has colors.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Passions are vices or virtues to their highest powers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you lay duties upon people and give them no rights, you must pay them well.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I've often heard it said a preacher might learn with a comedian for a teacher.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is the fortunate who should extol fortune. [Ger., Das Gluck erhebe billig der Begluckte.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Culture which smooth the whole world licks, Also unto the devil sticks.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every solution of a problem is a new problem.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
