More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably deceives himself. Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are the slaves of objects around us, and appear little or important according as these contract or give us room to expand.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Boldness has power, magic and genius in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The aim of living is life itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wouldst thou ever roam abroad? See, what is good lies by thy side. Only learn to catch happiness, for happiness is ever by you.
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
The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I reverence the individual who understands distinctly what he wishes who unweariedly advances, who knows the means conducive to his object, and can seize and use them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The art of living rightly is like all arts it must be learned and practiced with incessant care.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The field of experience is the whole universe in all directions. Theory remains shut up within the limits of human faculties.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask from God.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Willing is not enough, we must do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If society gives up the right to impose the death penalty, then self-help will appear again and personal vendettas will be around the corner.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Science arose from poetry... when times change the two can meet again on a higher level as friends.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The passions are like those demons with which Afrasahiab sailed down the Orus. Our only safety consists in keeping them asleep. If they we are lost.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let no one be like another, yet everyone like the highest. How is this done? Be each one perfect in himself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
