More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whoso is content with pure experience and acts upon it has enough of truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is worth more than this day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All one needs to do is declare oneself free and one will immediately feel dependent. If you dare to declare yourself dependent, you feel independent.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In society every man is taken for what he gives himself out to be but he must give himself out to be something. Better to be slightly disagreeable than altogether insignificant.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am part of the part that once was everything, Part of the darkness which gave birth to light… Mephistopheles, from Faust.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Our wishes are presentiments of the abilities that lie in us, harbingers of what we will be able to accomplish.
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
I do not now begin, - I still adore Her whom I early cherish'd in my breast Then once again with prudence dispossess'd, And to whose heart I'm driven back once more. The love of Petrarch, that all-glorious love, Was unrequited, and, alas, full sad.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The history of a man is in his character.
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
Age does not make us childish, as some say it finds us true children.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What we agree with leaves us inactive, but contradiction makes us productive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The eternal feminine doth draw us upward. [Ger., Das Ewig-Weibliche zieht uns hinan.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Where there are no women there are no good manners
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The solution of every problem is another problem
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Passions are vices or virtues to their highest powers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The person of analytic or critical intellect finds something ridiculous in everything. The person of synthetic or constructive intellect, in almost nothing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beautiful is greater than Good, for it includes the Good.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are but two roads that lead to an important goal and to the doing of great things: strength and perseverance. Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If I say to the moment: 'Stay now! You are so beautiful'!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
