Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The one who always strives, That one can be redeemed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mediator of the inexpressible is the work of art.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is now the foliage moving? Air is still, and hush'd the breeze, Sultriness, this fullness loving, Through the thicket, from the trees. Now the eye at once gleams brightly, See! the infant band with mirth Moves and dances nimbly, lightly, As the morning gave it birth, Flutt'ring two and two o'er earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Some of our weaknesses are born in us, others are the result of education it is a question which of the two gives us most trouble.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let us not dream that reason can ever be popular. Passions, emotions, may be made popular but reason remains ever the property of an elect few.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beware of her fair hair, for she excels All women in the magic of her locks And when she winds them round a young man's neck, She will not ever set him free again.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To act is easy, to think is hard to act according to our thought is troublesome.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Someday perhaps the inner light will shine forth from us, and the we'll need no other light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Alas! sorrow from happiness is oft evolved.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The iron hand of necessity commands, and her stern decree is supreme law, to which the gods even must submit. In deep silence rules the uncounselled sister of eternal fate. Whatever she lays upon thee, endure perform whatever she commands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One says a lot in vain, refusing The other mainly hears the No.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Yes, I have finally arrived to this Capital of the World! I now see all the dreams of my youth coming to life... Only in Rome is it possible to understand Rome.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What government is the best? That which teaches us to govern ourselves. [Ger., Welche Regierung die beste sei? Diejenige die uns lehrt uns selbst zu regieren.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How fair doth Nature Appear again! How bright the sunbeams! How smiles the plain! The flow'rs are bursting From ev'ry bough, And thousand voices Each bush yields now. And joy and gladness Fill ev'ry breast! Oh earth!-oh sunlight! Oh rapture blest! Oh love! oh loved one!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Conscience is the virtue of the observers not the agents of action
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Voluntary dependence is the wonderful form of existence, and how could that be possible without love?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who is wise puts aside all claims which may dissipate his attention, and confining himself to one branch excels in that.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are never deceived we deceive ourselves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
