We are our own devils we drive ourselves out of our Edens.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Don't give us your doubts, gives us your certainties, for we have doubts enough of our own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No sacred fane requires us to submit to insult.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If a man or woman is born ten years sooner or later, their whole aspect and performance shall be different.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hypotheses are the scaffolds which are erected in front of a building and removedd when the building is completed. They are indispensable to the worker but the worker must not mistake the scaffolding for the building.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is a maxim of wise government to treat people not as they should be but as they actually are.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world is full of contradiction.
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
One doesn't always lose when one has to do without.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The human mind will not be confined to any limits.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing more frightful than for a teacher to know only what his scholars are intended to know.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every solution of a problem is a new problem.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you inquire what people are like here, I must answer, The same as everywhere.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Age does not make us childish, as some say it finds us true children.
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
Nature has neither kernel Nor shell
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To know someone here or there with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts expressed That can make life a garden.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
