We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves otherwise, we harden.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beauty and Genius must be kept afar if one would avoid becoming their slave.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I wish the crowd to feel itself well treated, Especially since it lives and lets me live.
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
As long as you don't practice it, this dying and becoming, You are only a dreary guest on this dark earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hatred is a heavy burden. It sinks the heart deep in the breast, and lies like a tombstone on all joys.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Tolerance should, strictly speaking, be only a passing mood it ought to lead to acknowledgment and appreciation. To tolerate a person is to affront him.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A plant is like a self-willed man, out of whom we can obtain all which we desire, if we will only treat him his own way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is not a single outward mark of courtesy that does not have a deep moral basis.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I don't know a greater advantage, than to appreciate the worth of an enemy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Blood is a very special juice.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything in the world may be endured, except only a succession of prosperous days. [Ger., Alles in der Welt lasst sich ertragen, Nur nicht eine Reihe von schonen Tagen.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
National literature does not mean much these days now is the age of world literature, and every one must contribute to hasten thearrival of that age.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature has neither kernel Nor shell
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is part of you, you cannot get rid of, even if you were to throw it away.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man's shortcomings are taken from his epoch his virtues and greatness belong to himself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Toleration ought in reality to be merely a transitory mood. It must lead to recognition. To tolerate is to affront.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who wishes to exert a useful influence must be careful to insult nothing. Let him not be troubled by what seems absurd, but concentrate his energies to the creation of what is good. He must not demolish, but build. He must raise temples where mankind may come and partake of the purest pleasure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The iron hand of necessity commands, and her stern decree is supreme law, to which the gods even must submit. In deep silence rules the uncounselled sister of eternal fate. Whatever she lays upon thee, endure perform whatever she commands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
