Truth
More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Truth is a torch, but a huge one, and so it is only with blinking eyes what we all of us try to get past it, in actual terror of being burnt.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature understands no jesting. She is always true, always serious, always severe. She is always right, and the errors are always those of man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man, be he who he may, experiences a last piece of good fortune and a last day. [Ger., Der Mensch erfahrt, er sei auch wer er mag, Ein letztes Gluck und einen letzten Tag.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Just trust yourself and you'll learn the art of living.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thus one can observe that those who proclaim piety as their goal and purpose usually turn into hypocrites.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man errs, till he has ceased to strive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature! We are enveloped and embraced by her, incapable of emerging from her and incapable of entering her more deeply. Unbidden and unwarned, she receives us into the circuits of her dance, drifting onward with us herself, until we grow tired and drop from her arms.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Aptitudes are assumed, they should become accomplishments. That is the purpose of all education.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hypotheses are only the pieces of scaffolding which are erected round a building during the course of construction, and which are taken away as soon as the edifice is completed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To accept good advice is but to increase one's own ability.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I look upon all four Gospels as thoroughly genuine, for there shines forth from them the reflected splendor of a sublimity proceeding from Jesus Christ.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Unrest and uncertainty are our lot.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A rainbow which lasts for a quarter of an hour is looked at no longer.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For usually people resist as long as they can to dismiss the fool they harbor in their bosom, they resist to confess a major mistake or to admit a truth that makes them despair.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To understand one thing well is better than understanding many things by halves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.- Henry Ward Beecher - I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do you want to live happily? Travel with two bags, one for giving, the other for receiving.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who has a task to perform must know how to take sides, or he is quite unworthy of it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We rather confess our moral errors, faults, and crimes than our ignorance.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hatred is something peculiar. You will always find it strongest and most violent where there is the lowest degree of culture.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
