Collectors are happy people.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Is not the core of nature in the heart of man?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The most damaging prejudice consists of banning any kind of investigation of nature.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is more disgusting than the majority: because it consists of a few powerful predecessors, of rogues who adapt themselves, of weak who assimilate themselves, and the masses who imitate without knowing at all what they want.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do not, I beg you, look for anything behind phenomena. They are themselves their own lesson.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Writing is busy idleness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing in the world more pitiable than an irresolute man, oscillating between two feelings, who would willingly unite the two and who does not perceive that nothing can unite them
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everywhere, we learn only from those whom we love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thank God when He lays a burden on thee, and thank Him when He takes it off.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably deceives himself. Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When toward the Devil's Hose we tread, Woman's a thousand steps behind. [Ger., Denn geht es zu des Bosen Haus Das Weib hat tausend Schritt voraus.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
