More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you want to make life easy, make it hard.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We blame equally him who is too proud to put a proper value on his own merit and him who prizes too highly his spurious worth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I can promise to be upright, but not to be without bias. [Ger., Aufrichtig zu sein kann ich versprechen unparteiisch zu sein aber nicht.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A distracted existence leads us to no goal
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Napoleon affords us an example of the danger of elevating one's self to the absolute, and sacrificing everything to the carrying out of an idea.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The senses do not deceive us, but the judgment does.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are people who make no mistakes because they never wish to do anything worth doing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Perfection is the measure of heaven, and the wish to be perfect the measure of man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Then to the depths! - I could as well say height: It's all the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The clever reader who is capable or reading between these lines what does not stand written in them but is nevertheless implied will be able to form some conception.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A noble soul alone can noble souls attract And knows alone, as ye, to hold them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life is the childhood of our immortality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As man is, so is his God. And thus is God oft strangely odd.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
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
The flowers are full of honey, but only the bee finds out the sweetness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The eternal feminine draws us on high.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature! We are enveloped and embraced by her, incapable of emerging from her and incapable of entering her more deeply. Unbidden and unwarned, she receives us into the circuits of her dance, drifting onward with us herself, until we grow tired and drop from her arms.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
