Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.
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
Thank God when he oppresses you, and again when he releases you.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greatest joy of a thinking man is to have searched the explored and to quietly revere the unexplored.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beware of wishing for anything in youth, because you will get it in middle age.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To the world you might be one person, but to one person, you might be the world. Kindness is the golden chain by which our world is bound together.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To quit smoking, you must first want to quit, but then you must also do the quitting
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world is so full of simpletons and madmen, that one need not seek them in a madhouse.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are but few who have ideas and are, at the same time, capable of action. Ideas enlarge but stymie, action enlivens but confines.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
On the pinnacle of success man does not stand firm long.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Love can do much, but duty more.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Freedom consists not in refusing to recognize anything above us, but in respecting something which is above us for by respecting it, we raise ourselves to it, and, by our very acknowledgment, prove that we bear within ourselves what is higher, and are worthy to be on a level with it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
