He who does not expect a million readers should not write a line.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Before you can do something, you must first be something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The man who acts never has any conscience no one has any conscience but the man who thinks
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For just when ideas fail, a word comes in to save the situation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The iron hand of necessity commands, and her stern decree is supreme law, to which the gods even must submit. In deep silence rules the uncounselled sister of eternal fate. Whatever she lays upon thee, endure perform whatever she commands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The highest cannot be spoken it can only be acted.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Painting and tattooing the body is a return to animalism.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My peace is gone, my heart is heavy. [Ger., Meine Ruh ist hin, Mein Herz ist schwer.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Don't say that you want to give, but go ahead and give! You'll never catch up with a mere hope.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are people who make no mistakes because they never wish to do anything worth doing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A person hears only what they understand.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is true, but that which is simple.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever Nature undertakes, she can only accomplish it in a sequence. She never makes a leap.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Bible grows more beautiful, as we grow in our understanding of it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If we meet someone who owes us a debt of gratitude, we remember the fact at once. How often we can meet someone to whom we owe a debt of gratitude without thinking about it at all!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man errs, till he has ceased to strive.
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
Idea and experience will never coincide in the center only through art and action are they united.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is not given to us to grasp the truth, which is identical with the divine, directly. We perceive it only in reflection, in example and symbol, in singular and related appearances. It meets us as a kind of life which is incomprehensible to us, and yet we cannot free ourselves from the desire to comprehend it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is no patriotic art and no patriotic science.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
