Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
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

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every idea appears at first as a strange visitor, and when it begins to be realized, it is hardly distinguishable from fantasy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When an idea is wanting, a word can always be found to take its place.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Evil One has left, the evil ones remain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature is the living, visible garment of God.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing can be compared to the new life that the discovery of another country provides for a thoughtful person. Although I am still the same I believe to have changed to the bones.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I hate every violent overthrow, because as much is destroyed as is gained by it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Character is constructed amidst the tempests of the World
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One is led astray alike by sympathy and coldness, by praise and by blame
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One must not criticize that which is common since it remains always the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are surrounded by abysses, but the greatest of all depths is in our own heart, and an irresistible leaning leads us there. Draw thyself from thyself!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One man's word is no man's word we should quietly hear both sides.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
