More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In politics people throw themselves, as on a sickbed, from one side to the other in the belief they will lie more comfortably.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everywhere, we learn only from those whom we love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Correction does much, but encouragement does more. Encouragement after censure is as the sun after a shower.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Manners form the great charm of women.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Love grants in a moment What toil can hardly achieve in an age. [Ger., In einem Augenblick gewahrt die Liebe Was Muhe kaum in langer Zeit erreicht.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
True works of art contain their own theory and give us the measurement according to which we should judge them.
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
Nothing will change the fact that I cannot produce the least thing without absolute solitude.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world remains ever the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How happy he who can still hope to lift himself from this sea of error! What we know not, that we are anxious to possess, and cannot use what we know.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
That is the way of youth and life in general: that we do not understand the strategy until after the campaign is over.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you call a thing bad you do little, if you call a thing good you do much
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let there be truth between us.
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
What we agree with leaves us inactive, but contradiction makes us productive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ohne Hast, aber ohne Rast. - Without haste, but without rest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
