More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I come more and more to the conclusion that one must take the side of the minority which is always the more intelligent one.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No one knows what he is doing so long as he is acting rightly but of what is wrong one is always conscious.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is worth more than this day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A judge who cannot punish, in the end associates themselves with the criminal.
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
Strike the dog dead, it's but a critic!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days... What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whoever gives himself up to solitude, Ah! he is soon alone.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All one needs to do is declare oneself free and one will immediately feel dependent. If you dare to declare yourself dependent, you feel independent.
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
In art it's not the thinking that does the job, but making.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The more one knows, the more one comprehends, the more one realizes that everything turns in a circle.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Alas! how much there is in education, and in our social institutions, to prepare us and our children for insanity.
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
Experience is only half of experience.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Don't judge anyone harshly until you yourself have been through his experiences
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greatest evil that can befall man is that he should come to think ill of himself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In art, to express the infinite one should suggest infinitely more than is expressed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When two people are really happy about one another one can generally assume they are mistaken.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If I say to the moment: 'Stay now! You are so beautiful'!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
