More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world is for thousands a freak show the images flicker past and vanish the impressions remain flat and unconnected in the soul. Thus they are easily led by the opinions of others, are content to let their impressions be shuffled and rearranged and evaluated differently.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
At the end of life thoughts hitherto impossible come to the collected mind, like good spirits which let themselves down from the shining heights of the past.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If one has not read the newspapers for some months and then reads them all together, one sees, as one never saw before, how much time is wasted with this kind of literature.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Sceptics are yet the most credulous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Only the heart without a stain knows perfect ease. [Ger., Ganz unbefleckt geniesst sich nur das Herz.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is the universal? The single case. What is the particular? Millions of cases.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Age does not make us childish, as some say it finds us true children.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Words express neither objects nor ourselves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
By nature we have no defect that could not become a strength, no strength that could not become a defect.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man's restlessness makes him strive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All that is transitory is but a metaphor.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The day of fortune is like a harvest day, We must be busy when the corn is ripe. [Ger., Ein tag der Gunst ist wie ein Tag der Ernte, Man muss geschaftig sein sobald sie reift.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To make a young couple love each other, it is only necessary to oppose and separate them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is not enough to have knowledge one must apply it. It is not enough to have wishes one must also accomplish it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Accepting good advice means nothing other than to strengthen one's own ability.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
