What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The society of women is the element of good manners.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What sort of faults may we retain, nay, even cherish in ourselves? Those faults which are rather pleasant than offensive to others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man's restlessness makes him strive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The people rate strength before everything.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As in Rome there is, apart from the Romans, a population of statues, so apart from this real world there is a world of illusion, almost more potent, in which most men live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A person places themselves on a level with the ones they praise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Your messages I hear, but faith has not been given The dearest child of Faith is Miracle.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What right those who govern have to govern they don't question, they just govern. Whether the people have a right to depose them that doesn't concern them. All they are concerned with is that the people will not be tempted to depose them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Difficulties increase the nearer we get to the goal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Gray are all the theories, But green is the tree of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Not the maker of plans and promises, but rather the one who offers faithful service in small matters. This is the person who is most likely to achieve what is good and lasting.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
None are so hopelessly enslaved, as those who falsely believe they are free. The truth has been kept from the depth of their minds by masters who rule them with lies. They feed them on falsehoods till wrong looks like right in their eyes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A state of true and universal tolerance is best ensured by leaving alone the peculiarities of men and peoples.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One cannot develop taste from what is of average quality but only from the very best.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every man must form himself as a particular being, seeking, however, to attain that general idea of which all mankind are constituents.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No one knows what he is doing so long as he is acting rightly but of what is wrong one is always conscious.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We know accurately only when we know little, with knowledge doubt increases.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One would give generous alms if one had the eyes to see the beauty of a cupped receiving hand.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
On every mountain height is rest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
