More quotes by 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
Certain defects are necessary for the existence of individuality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Writing history is a method of getting rid of the past.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I always seek the good that is in people and leave the bad to Him who made mankind and knows how to round off the corners.
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
You will find the most pronounced hatred of other nations on the lowest cultural levels. There is, though, a level where the hatred disappears completely and where one so to speak stands above the nations and where one experiences fortune or misfortune of a neighboring country as if they had happened to one's own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who possesses art and science has religion he who does not possess them, needs religion.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The summit charms us, the steps to it do not with the heights before our eyes, we like to linger in the plain. It is only a part of art that can be taught but the artist needs the whole. He who is only half instructed speaks much and is always wrong who knows it wholly is content with acting and speaks seldom or late.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Stones are mute teachers they silence the observer, and the most valuable lesson we learn from them we cannot communicate.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Were not the eye made to receive the rays of the sun, it could not behold the sun if the peculiar power of God lay not in us, how could the godlike charm us?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is commonly the personal character of a writer which gives him his public significance. It is not imparted by his genius. Napoleon said of Corneille, Were he living I would make him a king but he did not read him. He read Racine, yet he said nothing of the kind of Racine.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
True works of art contain their own theory and give us the measurement according to which we should judge them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The march of intellect, which licks all the world into shape, has even reached the devil.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One can't dull a project better than by discussing it repeatedly.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What you desire when young, you have in abundance when old.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
While man's desires and aspirations stir he cannot choose but err.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Difficulties increase the nearer we get to the goal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Napoleon for the sake of a good name broke in pieces half the world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Fools and wise men are equally harmless. It is the half-fools and half-wise that are dangerous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is no patriotic art.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
