More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Self-love exaggerates our faults as well as our virtues.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No two men see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will apply in different ways a principle that they both acknowledge.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One spares old people just as one spares children.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We can always redeem the man who aspires and strives.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The threshold is the place of expectation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Those who hope for no other life are dead even for this.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The day is of infinite length for him who knows how to appreciate and use it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who is wise puts aside all claims which may dissipate his attention, and confining himself to one branch excels in that.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything is both simpler than we can imagine and more entangled than we can conceive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do not, I beg you, look for anything behind phenomena. They are themselves their own lesson.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One cannot always be a hero, but one can always be a man.
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
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred...unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
That is the way of youth and life in general: that we do not understand the strategy until after the campaign is over.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Mozart is a human incarnation of the divine force of creation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing by which men display their character so much as in what they consider ridiculous... Fools and sensible men are equally innocuous. It is in the half fools and the half wise that the great danger lies.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Only that type of story deserves to be called moral that shows us that one has the power within oneself to act, out of the conviction that there is something better, even against one's own inclination.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To me the external existence of my soul is proved from my idea of activity. If I work incessantly until my death, nature will give me another form of existence when the present can no longer sustain my spirit.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What you desire when young, you have in abundance when old.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
