More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No man learns to know his inmost nature by introspection, for he rates himself sometimes too low, and often too high, by his own measurement. Man knows himself only by comparing himself with other men it is life that touches his genuine worth.
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
The little man is still a man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you inquire what people are like here, I must answer, The same as everywhere.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The hardest thing is to see what's under your very eyes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature has neither kernel Nor shell
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Love grants in a moment what toil can hardly acheive in an age.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Difficulties increase the nearer we get to the goal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I do not now begin, - I still adore Her whom I early cherish'd in my breast Then once again with prudence dispossess'd, And to whose heart I'm driven back once more. The love of Petrarch, that all-glorious love, Was unrequited, and, alas, full sad.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A flippant, frivolous man may ridicule others, may controvert them, scorn them but he who has any respect for himself seems to have renounced the right of thinking meanly of others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The beautiful is a phenomenon which is never apparent of itself, but is reflected in a thousand different works of the creator.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If I say to the moment: 'Stay now! You are so beautiful'!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Originality provokes originality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Never by reflection, but only by doing is self- knowledge possible to one.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Energy will do anything that can be done in this world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The most happy man is he who knows how to bring into relation the end and beginning of his life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you've never eaten while crying you don t know what life tastes like.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One cannot develop taste from what is of average quality but only from the very best.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A great deal may be done by severity, more by love, but most by clear discernment and impartial justice.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
