More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
With the growth of knowledge our ideas must from time to time be organized afresh. The change takes place usually in accordance with new maxims as they arise, but it always remains provisional.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Even though the world as a whole progresses, youth must always start again from the beginning, and as individuals go through the epochs of the world's culture.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My counsel is, to force nothing, and rather to trifle and sleep away all unproductive days and hours, than on such days to compose something that will afterwards give no pleasure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are surrounded by abysses, but the greatest of all depths is in our own heart, and an irresistible leaning leads us there. Draw thyself from thyself!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The whole art of living consists in giving up existence in order to exist.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Enjoy what you can, endure what you must.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Try novelties for salesman's bait, For novelty wins everyone.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We usually lose today, because there has been a yesterday, and tomorrow is coming.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Daily life is more instructive than the most effective book.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One alone does not help, but rather he who unites with many at the right moment.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To live as one likes is plebian the noble man aspires to order and law.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
God could cause us considerable embarrassment by revealing all the secrets of nature to us: we should not know what to do for sheer apathy and boredom.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I hold to faith in the divine love - which, so many years ago for a brief moment in a little corner of the earth, walked about as a man bearing the name of Jesus Christ - as the foundation on which alone my happiness rests.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
[W]hat counts is that one perceives excellence and dares to give it expression, which sounds little but is in fact a great deal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do people conform to the instructions of us old ones? Each thinks he must know best about himself, and thus many are lost entirely.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The bad thing is that thinking about thought doesn't help at all one has to have it from nature so that the good ideas appear before us like free children of God calling to us: Here we are.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
That which thy fathers have bequeathed to thee, earn it anew if thou wouldst possess it.
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
We always hope, and in all things it is better to hope than to despair.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As a man is, so is his God therefore God was so often an object of mockery. [Ger., Wie einer ist, so ist sein Gott, Darum ward Gott so oft zu Spott.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
