More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The old lose one of the greatest privileges of man, for they are no longer judged by their contemporaries.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you wish to advance into the infinite, explore the finite in all directions.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who can think wise or stupid things at all that were not thought already in the past.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I do not now begin, - I still adore Her whom I early cherish'd in my breast Then once again with prudence dispossess'd, And to whose heart I'm driven back once more. The love of Petrarch, that all-glorious love, Was unrequited, and, alas, full sad.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A king there was once reigning, Who had a goodly flea, Him loved he without feigning, As his own son were he!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The works of Lavoisier and his associates operated upon many of us at that time like the Sun's rising after a night of moonshine: but Chemistry is now betrothed to the Mathematics, and is in consequence grown somewhat shy of her former admirers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When an idea is wanting, a word can always be found to take its place.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sameness leaves us in peace but it is contradiction that makes us productive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are the slaves of objects around us, and appear little or important according as these contract or give us room to expand.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ah! my poor brain is racked and crazed, My spirit and senses amazed!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Our hands we open of our own free will, and the good flies, which we can never recall.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ah, how often I've cursed those foolish pages, That showed my youthful sufferings to everyone! If Werther had been my brother, and I'd killed him, His sad ghost could hardly have persecuted me more.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world is so great and rich, and life so full of variety, that you can never lack occasions for poems.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Normally, people believe that, if they hear just words, that these words must lead to some thought.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sowing is not as difficult as reaping.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thou must (in commanding and winning, or serving and losing, suffering or triumphing) be either anvil or hammer.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Then to the depths! - I could as well say height: It's all the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let your trouble be Light will follow dark Though the heaven falls You may hear the lark.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The fine emotions whence our lives we mold Lie in the earthly tumult dumb and cold.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The arts are the salt of the earth as salt relates to food, the arts relate to technology.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
