More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What government is the best? That which teaches us to govern ourselves. [Ger., Welche Regierung die beste sei? Diejenige die uns lehrt uns selbst zu regieren.]
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
Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The rose is wont with pride to swell, and ever seeks to rise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is a mistake for a taciturn, serious-minded woman to marry a jovial man, but not for a serious-minded man to marry a lighthearted woman.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you have science and art, You also have religion But if you don't have them, You better have religion.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
That is the way of youth and life in general: that we do not understand the strategy until after the campaign is over.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything that we encounter leaves traces behind. Everything contributes imperceptibly to our education
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Very few people love others for what they are rather, they love what they lend them, their own selves, their own idea of them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Precaution is better than cure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We lay aside letters never to read them again, and at last we destroy them out discretion, and so disappears the most immediate breath of life, irrecoverably for ourselves and for others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Science arose from poetry... when times change the two can meet again on a higher level as friends.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred...unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One must not criticize that which is common since it remains always the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The hardest thing to see is what is in front of your eyes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is the color closest to light. In its utmost purity it always implies the nature of brightness and has a cheerful, serene, gently stimulating character. Hence, experience teaches us that yellow makes a thoroughly warm and comforting impression.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
