Image
God made man simple, but how he changed and got complicated is hard to say.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
When the healthy nature of man acts as a whole, when he feels himself to be in the world as in a great, beautiful, noble, and valued whole, when harmonious ease affords him a pure and free delight, then the universe, if it could experience itself, would exult, as having attained its goal, and admire the climax of its own becoming and essence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Napoleon for the sake of a good name broke in pieces half the world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
How circumscribed is woman's destiny!

Go to foreign countries and you will get to know the good things one possesses at home.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The art of living rightly is like all arts it must be learned and practiced with incessant care.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The mob has nothing to lose, everything to gain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Devote each day to the object then in time and every evening will find something done.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Since you know me and my destiny only too well, you probably also know what attracts me to all unfortunate people.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The assault of our enemies is not part of our life it is only part of our experience we throw it off and guard ourselves against it as against frost, storm, rain, hail, or any other of the external evils which may be expected to happen.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Give me the benefit of your convictions, if you have any but keep your doubts to yourself, for I have enough of my own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
If nature is your teacher, your soul will awaken.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
You will find the most pronounced hatred of other nations on the lowest cultural levels. There is, though, a level where the hatred disappears completely and where one so to speak stands above the nations and where one experiences fortune or misfortune of a neighboring country as if they had happened to one's own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
