What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
For precisely when concepts fail one, Words are found at the right time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
[Nature's] crown is Love. Only through Love can we come near her. She puts gulfs between all things, and all things strive to be interfused. She isolates everything, that she may draw everything together. With a few draughts from the cup of Love she repays for a life full of trouble.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Humor is one of the elements of genius--admirable as an adjunct but as soon as it becomes dominant, only a surrogate for genius.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
If youth is a fault, it is one that one gets rid of soon enough.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Rejoice that you have still have a long time to live, before the thought comes to you that there is nothing more in the world to see.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The summit charms us, the steps to it do not with the heights before our eyes, we like to linger in the plain. It is only a part of art that can be taught but the artist needs the whole. He who is only half instructed speaks much and is always wrong who knows it wholly is content with acting and speaks seldom or late.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Talents are nurtured best in solitude, But character on life's tempestuous seas!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The march of intellect, which licks all the world into shape, has even reached the devil.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Art is a mediator of the unspeakable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
A flippant, frivolous man may ridicule others, may controvert them, scorn them but he who has any respect for himself seems to have renounced the right of thinking meanly of others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
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
Image
I don't know a greater advantage, than to appreciate the worth of an enemy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
There are few who have at once thought and capacity for action. Thought expands, but lames action animates, but narrows.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world will be clean.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Woe to him who would ascribe something like reason to Chance, and make a religion of surrendering to it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The little man is still a man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
For just when ideas fail, a word comes in to save the situation.
