More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Blood is a very special juice.
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
Where there are no women there are no good manners
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is more damaging to the truth than an old error.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Only the heart without a stain knows perfect ease. [Ger., Ganz unbefleckt geniesst sich nur das Herz.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The most foolish of all errors is for clever young men to believe that they forfeit their originality in recognizing a truth which has already been recognized by others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Gray are all the theories, But green is the tree of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What right those who govern have to govern they don't question, they just govern. Whether the people have a right to depose them that doesn't concern them. All they are concerned with is that the people will not be tempted to depose them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No one knows what he is doing so long as he is acting rightly but of what is wrong one is always conscious.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The public wishes itself to be managed like a woman one must say nothing to it except what it likes to hear.
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
Every bird has its decoy, and every man is led and misled in his own peculiar way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A distracted existence leads us to no goal
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who is the happiest man? He who is alive to the merit of others, and can rejoice in their enjoyment as if it were his own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Generosity wins favour for everyone, especially when it is accompanied by modesty.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greater part of all the mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What you desire when young, you have in abundance when old.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
