Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One cannot always be a hero, but one can always be a man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No one knows what he is doing so long as he is acting rightly but of what is wrong one is always conscious.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever we think out, whatever we take in hand to do, should be perfectly and finally finished, that the world, if it must alter, will only have to spoil it we have then nothing to do but unite the severed, to recollect and restore the dismembered.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The misfortune in the state is, that nobody can enjoy life in peace, but that everybody must govern and in art, that nobody will enjoy what has been produced, but that every one wants to reproduce on his own account.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Unlimited activity, of whatever kind, must end in bankruptcy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you want to make life easy, make it hard.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Seldom in the business and transactions of ordinary life, do we find the sympathy we want.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is belief in the Bible, the fruits of deep meditation, which has served me as the guide of my moral and literary life. I have found capital safely invested and richly productive of interest, although I have sometimes made but a bad use of it.
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
Wouldst thou ever roam abroad? See, what is good lies by thy side. Only learn to catch happiness, for happiness is ever by you.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are men who never err, because they never propose anything rational.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Alas! sorrow from happiness is oft evolved.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
