One always has time enough, if one will apply it well.
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
Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days... What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The shudder of awe is humanity's highest faculty, Even though this world is forever altering its values.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whoso is content with pure experience and acts upon it has enough of truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Action has magic, grace and power in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever we think out, whatever we take in hand to do, should be perfectly and finally finished, that the world, if it must alter, will only have to spoil it we have then nothing to do but unite the severed, to recollect and restore the dismembered.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Piety is not an end, but a means: a means of attaining the highest culture by the purest tranquility of soul. Hence it may be observed that those who set up piety as an end and object are mostly hypocrites.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world is so great and rich, and life so full of variety, that you can never lack occasions for poems.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
This is the true measure of love, When we believe that we alone can love, That no one could ever have loved so before us, And that no one will ever love in the same way after us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Time itself is an element.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Great passions are incurable diseases.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The ideal of beauty is simplicity and tranquility.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Say what we may of the inadequacy of translation, yet the work is and will always be one of the weightiest and worthiest undertakings in the general concerns of the world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let us live, while we are alive!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Treat a person as they are, they will remain so. Treat a person the way that person can be and is capable of being and that person will become as he or she can be and should be.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Many young painters would never have taken their pencils in hand if they could have felt, known, and understood, early enough, what really produced a master like Raphael.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Some books seem to have been written, not to teach us anything, but to let us know that the author has known something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A human being needs only a small plot of ground on which to be happy, and even less to lie beneath.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
