More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything that we encounter leaves traces behind. Everything contributes imperceptibly to our education
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Does not man lack the force at the very point where he needs it most? And when he soars upward in joy, or sinks down in suffering, is not checked in both, is he not returned again to the dull, cold sphere of awareness, just when he was longing to lose himself in the fullness of the infinite.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The eternal feminine draws us on high.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
At the moment of commitment the entire universe conspires to assist you.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Begin by instructing yourself, then you will receive instruction from others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And I like those authors best whose scenes describe my own situation in life-- and the friends who are about me whose stories touch me with interest, from resembling my own homely existence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Blood is a juice of rarest quality. [Ger., Blut ist ein ganz beondrer Saft.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Unlike grown ups, children have little need to deceive themselves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What one has wished for in youth, in old age one has in abundance.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No wonder we are all more or less pleased with mediocrity, since it leaves us at rest, and gives the same comfortable feeling as when one associates with his equals.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Art is constitutive-the artist determines beauty. He does not take it over.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A person places themselves on a level with the ones they praise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We can always redeem the man who aspires and strives.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To the man of thought almost nothing is really ridiculous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The flowers are full of honey, but only the bee finds out the sweetness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To a valet no man is a hero.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is sometimes essential for a husband and a wife to quarrel - they get to know each other better.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One is never deceived one deceives oneself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
