More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A plant is like a self-willed man, out of whom we can obtain all which we desire, if we will only treat him his own way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The art of governing is a great metier, requiring the whole man, and it is therefore not well for a ruler to have too strong tendencies for other affairs.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The bed of flowers Loosens amain, The beauteous snowdrops Droop o'er the plain. The crocus opens Its glowing bud, Like emeralds others, Others, like blood. With saucy gesture Primroses flare, And roguish violets, Hidden with care And whatsoever There stirs and strives, The Spring's contented, If works and thrives.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The one who acts is always without conscience nobody has a conscience but the contemplative person.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Help me to discover Thy truth, O Lord, and preserve me from those who have already found it
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sometimes I don't understand how another can love her, is allowed to love her, since I love her so completely myself, so intensely, so fully, grasp nothing, know nothing, have nothing but her!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Humans fear reason, but they ought to fear stupidity- for reason can be hard, but stupidity can be fatal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Someone criticized an elderly man for wooing young women. He replied that that was the only way to rejuvenation, which was, afterall, everybody's wish.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
So then the year is repeating its old story again. We are come once more, thank God! to its most charming chapter. The violets and the Mayflowers are as its inscriptions or vignettes. It always makes a pleasant impression on us, when we open again at these pages of the book of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The day is of infinite length for him who knows how to appreciate and use it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are our own aptest deceiver.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is repetition everywhere, and nothing is found only once in the world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Plunge boldly into the thick of life, and seize it where you will, it is always interesting.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everyone only hears what he understands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
