More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To live within limits. To want one thing. Or a few things very much and love them dearly. Cling to them, survey them from every angle. Become one with them - that is what makes the poet, the artist, the human being.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Yet he who grasps the moment's gift, He is the proper man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The threshold is the place of expectation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If a good person does you wrong, act as though you had not noticed it. If we practice and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, soon the wholeworld will be blind and toothless.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everyone is deceived in his hopes, cheated in his expectations.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Voluntary dependence is the wonderful form of existence, and how could that be possible without love?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The more one knows, the more one comprehends, the more one realizes that everything turns in a circle.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The society of women is the element of good manners.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is part of you, you cannot get rid of, even if you were to throw it away.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mortal race is far too weak not to grow dizzy on unwonted brights. [Ger., Das sterbliche Geschlecht ist viel zu schwach In ungewohnter Hohe nicht zu schwindeln.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To rule is easy, to govern difficult.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If society gives up the right to impose the death penalty, then self-help will appear again and personal vendettas will be around the corner.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Alas! sorrow from happiness is oft evolved.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The iron hand of necessity commands, and her stern decree is supreme law, to which the gods even must submit. In deep silence rules the uncounselled sister of eternal fate. Whatever she lays upon thee, endure perform whatever she commands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If one doesn't know one's own country, one doesn't have standards for foreign countries.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
From desire I plunge to its fulfilment, where I long once more for desire.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is a great error to take oneself for more than one is, or for less than one is worth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Make the most of time, it flies away so fast yet method will teach you to win time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you want to make life easy, make it hard.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The whole art of living consists in giving up existence in order to exist.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
