More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Reason can never be popular. Passions and feelings may become popular, but reason will always remain the sole property of a few eminent individuals.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Science has been seriously retarded by the study of what is not worth knowing and of what is not knowable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Alas, I have studied philosophy, the law as well as medicine, and to my sorrow, theology studied them well with ardent zeal, yet here I am, a wretched fool, no wiser than I was before.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let no one be like another, yet everyone like the highest. How is this done? Be each one perfect in himself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The force of a language does not consist of rejecting what is foreign but of swallowing it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Superstition is rooted in a much deeper and more sensitive layer of the psyche than skepticism.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Music is either sacred or secular. The sacred agrees with its dignity, and here has its greatest effect on life, an effect that remains the same through all ages and epochs. Secular music should be cheerful throughout.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world of reason is to be regarded as a great and immortal being, who ceaselessly works out what is necessary, and so makes himself lord also over what is accidental.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To tremble before anticipated evils is to bemoan what thou hast never lost.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature has neither kernel Nor shell
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The highest cannot be spoken it can only be acted.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity. The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they are dim, the whole world is clouded.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To rule is easy, to govern difficult.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life is not anything, but an opportunity for something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
