More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One is never deceived one deceives oneself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One should not wish anyone disagreeable conditions of life but for him who is involved in them by chance, they are touchstones of characters and of the most decisive value to man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man... knows only when he is satisfied and when he suffers, and only his sufferings and his satisfactions instruct him concerning himself, teach him what to seek and what to avoid. For the rest, man is a confused creature he knows not whence he comes or whither he goes, he knows little of the world, and above all, he knows little of himself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The day is of infinite length for him who knows how to appreciate and use it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Many hammer all over the wall and believe that with each blow they hit the nail on the head.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If all these devils really exist it proves there must be angels, too.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If I love you, what business is it of yours?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Most pioneers are at the mercy of doubt at the beginning, whether of their worth, of their theories, or of the whole enigmatic field in which they labour.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is belief in the Bible, the fruits of deep meditation, which has served me as the guide of my moral and literary life. I have found capital safely invested and richly productive of interest, although I have sometimes made but a bad use of it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Properly speaking, such work is never finished one must declare it so when, according to time and circumstances, one has done one's best.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Someday perhaps the inner light will shine forth from us, and the we'll need no other light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are accustomed to see men deride what they do not understand, and snarl at the good and beautiful because it lies beyond their sympathies
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything perfect in its kind has to transcend its own kind, it must become something different and incomparable. In some notes the nightingale is still a bird then it rises above its class and seems to suggest to every winged creature what singing is truly like.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A true German can't stand the French, Yet willingly he drinks their wines.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The misfortune in the state is, that nobody can enjoy life in peace, but that everybody must govern and in art, that nobody will enjoy what has been produced, but that every one wants to reproduce on his own account.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A vi'let on the meadow grew, That no one saw, that no one knew, It was a modest flower. A shepherdess pass'd by that way-- Light footed, pretty and so gay That way she came, Softly warbling forth her lay.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
That which is eternal in Woman lifts us above.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Our wishes are presentiments of the abilities that lie in us, harbingers of what we will be able to accomplish.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything is both simpler than we can imagine and more entangled than we can conceive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One cannot develop taste from what is of average quality but only from the very best.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
