More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Happy the man who early learns the wide chasm that lies between his wishes and his powers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No matter what one says, you can recognize only those matters that are equal to you. Only rulers who possess extraordinary abilities will recognize and esteem properly extraordinary abilities in their subjects and servants.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Confronted by outstanding merit, there is no way of saving one's ego except by love
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The public wishes itself to be managed like a woman one must say nothing to it except what it likes to hear.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Rest not Life is sweeping by go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every great idea exerts, on first appearing, a tyrannical influence: Hence, the advantages it brings are turned all too soon into disadvantages.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is fruitful alone is true.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The most difficult thing is what is thought to be the simplest to really see the things which are before your eyes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature! We are enveloped and embraced by her, incapable of emerging from her and incapable of entering her more deeply. Unbidden and unwarned, she receives us into the circuits of her dance, drifting onward with us herself, until we grow tired and drop from her arms.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Those only obtain love, for the most part, who seek it not.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is worth more than this day. You cannot relive yesterday. Tomorrow is still beyond your reach.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One glance, one word from you gives more pleasure than all the wisdom of this world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let us not dream that reason can ever be popular. Passions, emotions, may be made popular but reason remains ever the property of an elect few.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing new on earth / For a person who lives long and experiences much. / In my years of youthful wandering / I have seen crystallized people.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let us live, while we are alive!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Lose the day loitering, 'twill be the same story To-morrow, and the next more dilatory, For indecision brings its own delays, And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days. Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute! What you can do, or think you can, begin it! Only engage, and then the mind grows heated Begin it, and the work will be completed.
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
Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature has neither kernel Nor shell
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
