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
Over all the mountain tops is peace. In all treetops you perceive scarcely a breath. The little birds in the forest are silent. Wait then soon, you too, will have peace.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And I have again observed, my dear friend, in this trifling affair, that misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than even malice and wickedness. At all events, the two latter are of less frequent occurrence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To act is easy, to think is hard to act according to our thought is troublesome.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One must not criticize that which is common since it remains always the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How shall we plan, that all be fresh and new-- Important matter yet attractive too? [Ger., Wie machen wir's, dass alles frisch und neu Und mit Bedeutung auch gefallig sei?]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mortal race is far too weak not to grow dizzy on unwonted brights. [Ger., Das sterbliche Geschlecht ist viel zu schwach In ungewohnter Hohe nicht zu schwindeln.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are people who make no mistakes because they never wish to do anything worth doing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Plants and flowers of the commonest kind can form a pleasing diary, because nothing which calls back to us the remembrance of a happy moment can be insignificant.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The ideal of beauty is simplicity and tranquility.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We who didn't inherit political power nor are made to acquire riches like nothing better than that which expands and solidifies the power of the spirit.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beautiful is greater than Good, for it includes the Good.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A great revolution is never the fault of the people, but of the government.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do people conform to the instructions of us old ones? Each thinks he must know best about himself, and thus many are lost entirely.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who is the happiest man? He who is alive to the merit of others, and can rejoice in their enjoyment as if it were his own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who possesses art and science has religion he who does not possess them, needs religion.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How marvelous, wide and broad is my Inheritance! Time is my property, my estate is time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My poor head is in such a whirl, my mind is all in bits.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
