More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It has been said that figures rule the world. Maybe. But I am sure that figures show us whether it is being ruled well or badly.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The history of a man is in his character.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He is the happiest man who can see the connection between the end and the beginning of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.
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
Those only obtain love, for the most part, who seek it not.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One is never satisfied with a portrait of persons whom one knows. That is why I have always pitied portraitists. One demands so seldom of others the impossible, but demands just that of the portraitists.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I respect the man who knows distinctly what he wants.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Devote each day to the object then in time and every evening will find something done.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world will be clean.
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
First and last, what is demanded of genius is love of truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What right those who govern have to govern they don't question, they just govern. Whether the people have a right to depose them that doesn't concern them. All they are concerned with is that the people will not be tempted to depose them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The threshold is the place of expectation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Deeply earnest and thoughtful people stand on shaky footing with the public.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Voluntary dependence is the wonderful form of existence, and how could that be possible without love?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Rest not Life is sweeping by go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We rather confess our moral errors, faults, and crimes than our ignorance.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To create something you must be something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
