More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, until they take root in our personal experience.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everywhere, we learn only from those whom we love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is more fearful than imagination without taste.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is as certain as it is strange that truth and error come from one and the same source. Thus it is that we are often not at liberty to do violence to error, because at the same time we do violence to truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sameness leaves us in peace but it is contradiction that makes us productive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
By nature we have no defect that could not become a strength, no strength that could not become a defect.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greater part of all the mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you wish to advance into the infinite, explore the finite in all directions.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Fools and wise men are equally harmless. It is the half-fools and half-wise that are dangerous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We can stand only a certain amount of unhappiness anything beyond that annihilates us or passes us by, leaving us apathethetic.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Gray is the color of all theory
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One man's word is no man's word we should quietly hear both sides.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Certain faults are necessary to the individual if he is to exist.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
God could cause us considerable embarrassment by revealing all the secrets of nature to us: we should not know what to do for sheer apathy and boredom.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Age does not make us childish, as some say it finds us true children.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A life without love, without the presence of the beloved, is nothing but a mere magic-lantern show. We draw out slide after slide, swiftly tiring of each, and pushing it back to make haste for the next.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My peace is gone, my heart is heavy. [Ger., Meine Ruh ist hin, Mein Herz ist schwer.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Why go further and further, Look, happiness is right here. Learn how to grab hold of luck, For luck is always there.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The best fortune that can fall to a man is that which corrects his defects and makes up for his failings.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who strives always to the utmost, him can we save.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
