More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

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
Certain faults are necessary for the existence of the individual. We would resent it if old friends were to get rid of certain peculiarities.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thou must (in commanding and winning, or serving and losing, suffering or triumphing) be either anvil or hammer.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever we think out, whatever we take in hand to do, should be perfectly and finally finished, that the world, if it must alter, will only have to spoil it we have then nothing to do but unite the severed, to recollect and restore the dismembered.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Evil One has left, the evil ones remain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A true German can't stand the French, Yet willingly he drinks their wines.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is more disgusting than the majority: because it consists of a few powerful predecessors, of rogues who adapt themselves, of weak who assimilate themselves, and the masses who imitate without knowing at all what they want.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One is never satisfied with a portrait of persons whom one knows. That is why I have always pitied portraitists. One demands so seldom of others the impossible, but demands just that of the portraitists.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you inquire what people are like here, I must answer, The same as everywhere.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One needs only to get old to become milder I don't see anyone make a mistake I hadn't also made.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Alas! sorrow from happiness is oft evolved.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you lay duties upon people and give them no rights, you must pay them well.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To have more, you must first be more.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
