Image
Everything that we call Invention or Discovery in the higher sense of the word is the serious exercise and activity of an original feeling for truth, which, after a long course of silent cultivation, suddenly flashes out into fruitful knowledge.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The decline in literature indicates a decline in the nation. The two keep pace in their downward tendency.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
As man is, so is his God. And thus is God oft strangely odd.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The mind is found most acute and most uneasy in the morning. Uneasiness is, indeed, a species of sagacity - a passive sagacity. Fools are never uneasy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
How marvelous, wide and broad is my Inheritance! Time is my property, my estate is time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

What is fruitful alone is true.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
As all Nature's thousands changes But one changeless God proclaim So in Art's wide kingdom ranges One sole meaning still the same: This is Truth, eternal Reason, Which from Beauty takes its dress, And serene through time and season Stands aye in loveliness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
To accept good advice is but to increase one's own ability.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
You are certainly wrong to compare suicide ... with great accomplishments, since it cannot be considered as anything but a weakness. After all, it is easier to die than to endure a harrowing life with fortitude.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
I am certain that I have been here as I am now a thousand times before, and I hope to return a thousand times... Man is a dialogue between nature and God. On other planets this dialogue will doubtless be of a higher and profounder character. What is lacking is Self-Knowledge. After that the rest will follow.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
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
Image
To the world you might be one person, but to one person, you might be the world. Kindness is the golden chain by which our world is bound together.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The art of living rightly is like all arts it must be learned and practiced with incessant care.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The century is advanced, but every individual begins afresh.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Tolerance should really be only a temporary attitude it must lead to recognition. To tolerate means to offend.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The highest goal that man can achieve is amazement.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
There is not a single outward mark of courtesy that does not have a deep moral basis.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Thus one can observe that those who proclaim piety as their goal and purpose usually turn into hypocrites.
