Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Certain faults are necessary to the individual if he is to exist.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you lay duties upon people and give them no rights, you must pay them well.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The rose is wont with pride to swell, and ever seeks to rise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything that we encounter leaves traces behind. Everything contributes imperceptibly to our education
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who wishes to exert a useful influence must be careful to insult nothing. Let him not be troubled by what seems absurd, but concentrate his energies to the creation of what is good. He must not demolish, but build. He must raise temples where mankind may come and partake of the purest pleasure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To understand one thing well is better than understanding many things by halves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man errs, till he has ceased to strive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In all times it is only individuals that have advanced science, not the age.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If I love you, what business is it of yours?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A king there was once reigning, Who had a goodly flea, Him loved he without feigning, As his own son were he!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is not a single outward mark of courtesy that does not have a deep moral basis.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hatred is active displeasure, envy passive. We need not wonder that envy turns to soon to hatred.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For what one has in black and white, One can carry home in comfort.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is equally a mistake to hold one's self too high, or to rate one's self too cheap.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who never ate his bread in sorrow, Who never spent the darksome hours Weeping, and watching for the morrow,- He knows you not, ye heavenly Powers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
