I wish the crowd to feel itself well treated, Especially since it lives and lets me live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Belief is not the beginning of knowledge - it is the end.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Accepting good advice means nothing other than to strengthen one's own ability.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Only the heart without a stain knows perfect ease. [Ger., Ganz unbefleckt geniesst sich nur das Herz.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything is both simpler than we can imagine and more entangled than we can conceive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is true, but that which is simple.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When ideas fail, words come in very handy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The clever reader who is capable or reading between these lines what does not stand written in them but is nevertheless implied will be able to form some conception.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Many hammer all over the wall and believe that with each blow they hit the nail on the head.
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
Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To appear at church every Sunday to look down upon, and let himself be looked at for an hour by the congregation, is the best means of becoming popular which can be recommended to a young sovereign.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To live within limits. To want one thing. Or a few things very much and love them dearly. Cling to them, survey them from every angle. Become one with them - that is what makes the poet, the artist, the human being.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Bible grows more beautiful, as we grow in our understanding of it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To accept good advice is but to increase one's own ability.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Make the most of time, it flies away so fast yet method will teach you to win time.
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
I curse all negative purism that tells me not to use a word from another language that either expresses something that my own language cannot or does that in a more delicate manner.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hatred is a heavy burden. It sinks the heart deep in the breast, and lies like a tombstone on all joys.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Know'st thou yesterday, its aim and reason? Work'st thou will today for worthier things? Then calmly wait the morrow's hidden season, And fear thou not, what hap soe'er it brings
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
