Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When two people are really happy about one another one can generally assume they are mistaken.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thou art in the end what thou art. Put on wigs with millions of curls, set thy foot upon ell-high rocks. Thou abidest ever--what thou art.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is the true test of character unless it be its progressive development in the bustle and turmoil, in the action and reaction of daily life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is sometimes essential for a husband and a wife to quarrel - they get to know each other better.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who can think wise or stupid things at all that were not thought already in the past.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A king there was once reigning, Who had a goodly flea, Him loved he without feigning, As his own son were he!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The hero draws inspiration from the virtue of his ancestors.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Each has his own happiness in his hands, as the artist handles the rude clay he seeks to reshape it into a figure yet it is the same with this art as with all others: only the capacity for it is innate the art itself must be learned and painstakingly practiced.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The deepest, the only theme of human history, compared to which all others are of subordinate importance, is the conflict of skepticism with faith.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am fully convinced that the soul is indestructible, and its activity will continue through eternity.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Look closely at those who patronize you. Half are unfeeling, half untaught.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Love, whose power youth feels, is not suitable for the elderly, just as little as anything that presupposes productivity. It is rare that productivity lasts through the years.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Don't give us your doubts, gives us your certainties, for we have doubts enough of our own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
