More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Care is taken that trees do not grow into the sky.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One must not criticize that which is common since it remains always the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Don't judge anyone harshly until you yourself have been through his experiences
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I hold to faith in the divine love - which, so many years ago for a brief moment in a little corner of the earth, walked about as a man bearing the name of Jesus Christ - as the foundation on which alone my happiness rests.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Yet here I stand poor fool what more, not one wit wiser than before.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Not art and science only, but patience will be required for the work.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Judge a man's character by what he finds ridiculous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Of the truly creative no one is ever master it must be left to go its own way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As long as you don't practice it, this dying and becoming, You are only a dreary guest on this dark earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I will listen to anyone's convictions, but pray keep your doubts to yourself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I let everyone follow his own bent, that I may be free to follow mine.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
