More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Are we not also married to conscience which we would love to get rid of often enough since it is more bothersome than a man or a woman ever could become?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To act is easy, to think is hard to act according to our thought is troublesome.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One is led astray alike by sympathy and coldness, by praise and by blame
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Upon the creatures we have made, we are, ourselves, at last, dependent.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One doesn't always lose when one has to do without.
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
There is no patriotic art and no patriotic science.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man can only endure a certain degree of unhappiness what is beyond that either annihilates him or passes by him and leaves him apathetic
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The happiest man is the one who finds happiness at home.
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
Whoever would do good in the world, ought not to deal in censure. We ought not to destroy, but rather construct.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Begin by instructing yourself, then you will receive instruction from others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To the world you might be one person, but to one person, you might be the world. Kindness is the golden chain by which our world is bound together.
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
Do not hurry do not rest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Never by reflection, but only by doing is self- knowledge possible to one.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are our own devils we drive ourselves out of our Edens.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The eye doesn't see any shapes, it sees only what is differentiated through light and dark or through colors.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For just when ideas fail, a word comes in to save the situation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are men who never err, because they never propose anything rational.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
