More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
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
He who does not think much of himself is much more esteemed than he imagines.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When we treat man as he is, we make him worse than he is when we treat him as if he already were what he potentially could be, we make him what he should be.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Names are but noise and smoke, Obscuring heavenly light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Your messages I hear, but faith has not been given The dearest child of Faith is Miracle.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Talents are nurtured best in solitude, But character on life's tempestuous seas!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Our hands we open of our own free will, and the good flies, which we can never recall.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Behavior is a mirror in which every one shows his image. [Ger., Das Betragen ist ein Spiegel in welchem jeder sein Bild zeigt.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is opposition that makes us productive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him he must regard himself as greater than he is.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Knowing is not enough we must apply. Willing is not enough we must do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Science arose from poetry... when times change the two can meet again on a higher level as friends.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The soul of the Christian religion is reverence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Humor is one of the elements of genius--admirable as an adjunct but as soon as it becomes dominant, only a surrogate for genius.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What in us the women leave uncultivated, children cultivate when we retain them near us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We must not take the faults of our youth with us into old age, for age brings along its own defects.
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
We lay aside letters never to read them again, and at last we destroy them out discretion, and so disappears the most immediate breath of life, irrecoverably for ourselves and for others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The flowers of life are but visionary. How many pass away and leave no trace behind! How few yield any fruit,--and the fruit itself, how rarely does it ripen! And yet there are flowers enough and is it not strange, my friend, that we should suffer the little that does really ripen to rot, decay, and perish unenjoyed?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The style of writing required in the great world is distinguished by a free and daring grace, a careless security, a fine and sharp polish, a delicate and perfect taste while that fitted for the people is characterized by a vigorous natural fulness, a profound depth of feeling, and an engaging naivete.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
