More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who cannot love must learn to flatter.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let your trouble be Light will follow dark Though the heaven falls You may hear the lark.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I wish the stage were as narrow as the wire of a tighrope dancer so that no incompetent would dare step upon it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man knows himself only insofar as he knows the world, becoming aware of it if only within himself, and of himself self only within it. Each new subject, well observed, opens up within us a new organ of thought.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The coward only threatens when he is safe.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A wounded heart can with difficulty be cured. [Ger., Doch ein gekranktes Herz erholt sich schwer.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If all these devils really exist it proves there must be angels, too.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Live dangerously and you live right.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I have possessed that heart, that noble soul, in whose presence I seemed to be more than I really was, because I was all that I could be.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thank God when He lays a burden on thee, and thank Him when He takes it off.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Voluntary dependence is the wonderful form of existence, and how could that be possible without love?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The whole art of living consists in giving up existence in order to exist.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I believe in God and in nature and in the triumph of good over evil.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As our inclinations, so our opinions.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In politics people throw themselves, as on a sickbed, from one side to the other in the belief they will lie more comfortably.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greatest genius will not be worth much if he pretends to draw exclusively from his own resources
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Poor fool! in whose petty estimation all things are little.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The most damaging prejudice consists of banning any kind of investigation of nature.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature does not suffer her veil to be taken from her, and what she does not choose to reveal to the spirit, thou wilt not wrest from her by levers and screws.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
