More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How can one learn to know oneself? Never by introspection, rather by action.
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
The angles even Draw strength from gazing on its glance, Though none its meaning fathom may The world's unwither'd countenance Is bright as at creation's day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Make the most of time, it flies away so fast yet method will teach you to win time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thus I reel from desire to fulfillment and in fulfillment languish for desire.
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
Try novelties for salesman's bait, For novelty wins everyone.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is not enough to have knowledge one must apply it. It is not enough to have wishes one must also accomplish it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Truth is a torch, but a huge one, and so it is only with blinking eyes what we all of us try to get past it, in actual terror of being burnt.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I will listen to anyone's convictions, but pray keep your doubts to yourself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Art is a mediator of the unspeakable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To accept good advice is but to increase one's own ability.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I could never have known so well how paltry men are, and how little they care for really high aims, if I had not tested them by my scientific researches. Thus I saw that most men only care for science so far as they get a living by it, and that they worship even error when it affords them a subsistence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When two men quarrel, who owns the cooler head is the more to blame.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Poor fool! in whose petty estimation all things are little.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The most difficult thing is what is thought to be the simplest to really see the things which are before your eyes.
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
Nothing is true, but that which is simple.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When an idea is wanting, a word can always be found to take its place.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
