More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We gladly put antiquity above our age but not posterity. Only a father doesn't begrudge his son's talent.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The heights charm us, but the steps do not with the mountain in our view we love to walk the plains.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything great and intelligent is in the minority
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One doesn't always lose when one has to do without.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The highest cannot be spoken it can only be acted.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Correction does much, but encouragement does more. Encouragement after censure is as the sun after a shower.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whoso is content with pure experience and acts upon it has enough of truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Why look for conspiracy when stupidity can explain so much
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Doesn't surprise me that Christ our Lord preferred to live with whores and sinners, seeing I go in for that myself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No man learns to know his inmost nature by introspection, for he rates himself sometimes too low, and often too high, by his own measurement. Man knows himself only by comparing himself with other men it is life that touches his genuine worth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Great possessions and great want of them are both strong temptations.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man knows himself only insofar as he knows the world, becoming aware of it if only within himself, and of himself self only within it. Each new subject, well observed, opens up within us a new organ of thought.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world is so great and rich, and life so full of variety, that you can never lack occasions for poems.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One always has time enough, if one will apply it well.
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
If the world does improve on the whole, yet youth must always begin anew, and go through the stages of culture from the beginning.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Few people have the imagination for reality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I have found among my papers a sheet . . . in which I call architecture frozen music.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Character is constructed amidst the tempests of the World
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
