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
He who wishes to exert a useful influence must be careful to insult nothing. Let him not be troubled by what seems absurd, but concentrate his energies to the creation of what is good. He must not demolish, but build. He must raise temples where mankind may come and partake of the purest pleasure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world remains ever the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
two souls, alas, are housed within my breast, and each will wrestle for the mastery there.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The flowers of life are but illusions. How many fade away and leave no trace.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am certain that I have been here as I am now a thousand times before, and I hope to return a thousand times... Man is a dialogue between nature and God. On other planets this dialogue will doubtless be of a higher and profounder character. What is lacking is Self-Knowledge. After that the rest will follow.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Passions are vices or virtues to their highest powers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One can stand anything except a succession of ordinary days
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greatest joy of a thinking man is to have searched the explored and to quietly revere the unexplored.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A joy shared is a joy doubled.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Precaution is better than cure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
