More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man is not born to solve the problem of the universe, but to find out what he has to do and to restrain himself within the limits of his comprehension.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In politics people throw themselves, as on a sickbed, from one side to the other in the belief they will lie more comfortably.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One mind is enough for a thousand hands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who does not know foreign languages does not know anything about his own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wisdom is found only in truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Architecture is frozen music. [Ger., Die Backunst ist eine erstarrte Musik.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A great scholar is seldom a great philosopher.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Shakespeare is dangerous to young poets they cannot but reproduce him, while they fancy that they produce themselves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A distracted existence leads us to no goal
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What do people mean when they talk about unhappiness? It is not so much unhappiness as impatience that from time to time possesses men, and then they choose to call themselves miserable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Music is either sacred or secular. The sacred agrees with its dignity, and here has its greatest effect on life, an effect that remains the same through all ages and epochs. Secular music should be cheerful throughout.
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
Duty is the demand of the hour.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
While man's desires and aspirations stir he cannot choose but err.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who is wise puts aside all claims which may dissipate his attention, and confining himself to one branch excels in that.
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
Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One lives but once in the world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
