More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sameness leaves us in peace but it is contradiction that makes us productive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is worth more than this day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A vi'let on the meadow grew, That no one saw, that no one knew, It was a modest flower. A shepherdess pass'd by that way-- Light footed, pretty and so gay That way she came, Softly warbling forth her lay.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are our own aptest deceiver.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When ideas fail, words come in very handy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is worse than active ignorance.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What right those who govern have to govern they don't question, they just govern. Whether the people have a right to depose them that doesn't concern them. All they are concerned with is that the people will not be tempted to depose them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is more damaging to the truth than an old error.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All our knowledge is symbolic.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If the world does improve on the whole, yet youth must always begin anew, and go through the stages of culture from the beginning.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If a man writes a book, let him set down only what he knows. I have guesses enough of my own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No one has ever learned fully to know themselves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One can't dull a project better than by discussing it repeatedly.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As in Rome there is, apart from the Romans, a population of statues, so apart from this real world there is a world of illusion, almost more potent, in which most men live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who does not see the whole world in his friends, does not deserve that the world should hear of him.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The summit charms us, the steps to it do not with the heights before our eyes, we like to linger in the plain. It is only a part of art that can be taught but the artist needs the whole. He who is only half instructed speaks much and is always wrong who knows it wholly is content with acting and speaks seldom or late.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sceptics are yet the most credulous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are the slaves of objects around us, and appear little or important according as these contract or give us room to expand.
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
He who does not stretch himself according to the coverlet finds his feet uncovered.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
