More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We're really up against it, we poor women: A bachelor's a hard thing to convert
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The theater has often been at variance with the pulpit they ought not to quarrel. How much is it to be wished that in both the celebration of nature and of God were intrusted to none but men of noble minds.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I will listen to anyone's convictions, but pray keep your doubts to yourself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beware of a man of one book.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In politics as on a sickbed men toss from side to side in hope of lying more comfortably.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Help me to discover Thy truth, O Lord, and preserve me from those who have already found it
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life's objective is life itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever you can do or dream, begin it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The eternal feminine draws us on high.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mortal race is far too weak not to grow dizzy on unwonted brights. [Ger., Das sterbliche Geschlecht ist viel zu schwach In ungewohnter Hohe nicht zu schwindeln.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All that is transitory is but a metaphor.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If a good person does you wrong, act as though you had not noticed it. If we practice and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, soon the wholeworld will be blind and toothless.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Truth is a torch, but a terrific one therefore we all try to reach it with closed eyes, lest we should be scorched.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Shakespeare is dangerous to young poets they cannot but reproduce him, while they fancy that they produce themselves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Talents are nurtured best in solitude, But character on life's tempestuous seas!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The history of mankind is his character.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One doesn't always lose when one has to do without.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sometimes I don't understand how another can love her, is allowed to love her, since I love her so completely myself, so intensely, so fully, grasp nothing, know nothing, have nothing but her!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The history of a man is in his character.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The eternal female draws us onward.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
