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.

More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I hold to faith in the divine love - which, so many years ago for a brief moment in a little corner of the earth, walked about as a man bearing the name of Jesus Christ - as the foundation on which alone my happiness rests.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
[Nature's] crown is Love. Only through Love can we come near her. She puts gulfs between all things, and all things strive to be interfused. She isolates everything, that she may draw everything together. With a few draughts from the cup of Love she repays for a life full of trouble.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One man's word is no man's word we should quietly hear both sides.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days... What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do people conform to the instructions of us old ones? Each thinks he must know best about himself, and thus many are lost entirely.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you don't know foreign languages, you don't know anything about your own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Character is constructed amidst the tempests of the World
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
As all Nature's thousands changes But one changeless God proclaim So in Art's wide kingdom ranges One sole meaning still the same: This is Truth, eternal Reason, Which from Beauty takes its dress, And serene through time and season Stands aye in loveliness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One says a lot in vain, refusing The other mainly hears the No.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is true, but that which is simple.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One glance, one word from you gives more pleasure than all the wisdom of this world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything is simpler than one can imagine, and yet complicated and inter-twined beyond comprehension.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The flowers of life are but illusions. How many fade away and leave no trace.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Rest not Life is sweeping by go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Doesn't surprise me that Christ our Lord preferred to live with whores and sinners, seeing I go in for that myself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I hate every violent overthrow, because as much is destroyed as is gained by it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who possesses art and science has religion he who does not possess them, needs religion.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
