More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To me the external existence of my soul is proved from my idea of activity. If I work incessantly until my death, nature will give me another form of existence when the present can no longer sustain my spirit.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Those who hope for no other life are dead even for this.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whoever gives himself up to solitude, Ah! he is soon alone.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Here too it’s masquerade, I find: As everywhere, the dance of mind. I grasped a lovely masked procession, And caught things from a horror show… I’d gladly settle for a false impression, If it would last a little longer, though.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
At the moment of commitment the entire universe conspires to assist you.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The assault of our enemies is not part of our life it is only part of our experience we throw it off and guard ourselves against it as against frost, storm, rain, hail, or any other of the external evils which may be expected to happen.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is more odious than the majority, for it consists of a few powerful leaders, a certain number of accommodating scoundrels and submissive weaklings, and a mass of men who trot after them without thinking, or knowing their own minds.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature does not suffer her veil to be taken from her, and what she does not choose to reveal to the spirit, thou wilt not wrest from her by levers and screws.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It matters little whether a man be mathematically or philologically or artistically cultivated, so he be but cultivated.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Just trust yourself and you'll learn the art of living.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing can be compared to the new life that the discovery of another country provides for a thoughtful person. Although I am still the same I believe to have changed to the bones.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who does not expect a million readers should not write a line.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I nothing had, and yet enough for youth--Joy in Illusion, ardent thirst for Truth. Give unrestrained, the old emotion, The bliss that touched the verge of pain, The strength of Hate, Love's deep devotion,--O, give me back my youth again!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The happiest man is the one who finds happiness at home.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We will burn that bridge when we come to it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
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
In politics people throw themselves, as on a sickbed, from one side to the other in the belief they will lie more comfortably.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Rest not Life is sweeping by go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greatest genius will not be worth much if he pretends to draw exclusively from his own resources
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
