More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To a valet no man is a hero. [Ger., Es gibt fur den Kammerdiener keiner Helden.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I could never have known so well how paltry men are, and how little they care for really high aims, if I had not tested them by my scientific researches. Thus I saw that most men only care for science so far as they get a living by it, and that they worship even error when it affords them a subsistence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The most fortunate of men, Be he a king or commoner, is he Whose welfare is assured in his own home.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature reacts not only to physical disease, but also to moral weakness when the danger increases she gives us greater courage
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
With knowledge comes more doubt.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is worse than active ignorance.
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
Man believes himself always greater than he is, and is esteemed less than he is worth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Mere curiosity adds wings to every step.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Great possessions and great want of them are both strong temptations.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Architecture is frozen music. [Ger., Die Backunst ist eine erstarrte Musik.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When you are in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude. We don't get to know people when they come to us we must go to them to find out what they are like.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Only law can give us freedom.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Talents are nurtured best in solitude, But character on life's tempestuous seas!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I come more and more to the conclusion that one must take the side of the minority which is always the more intelligent one.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The eye doesn't see any shapes, it sees only what is differentiated through light and dark or through colors.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
[Nature's] crown is Love. Only through Love can we come near her. She puts gulfs between all things, and all things strive to be interfused. She isolates everything, that she may draw everything together. With a few draughts from the cup of Love she repays for a life full of trouble.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The close and thoughtful observer more and more learns to recognize his limitations. He realizes that with the steady growth of knowledge more and more new problems keep on emerging.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than malice and wickedness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
