Nothing is true, but that which is simple.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The deepest, the only theme of human history, compared to which all others are of subordinate importance, is the conflict of skepticism with faith.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The miller believes that all the wheat grows so that his mill keeps running.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is natural to man to regard himself as the final cause of creation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ohne Hast, aber ohne Rast. - Without haste, but without rest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To me the external existence of my soul is proved from my idea of activity. If I work incessantly until my death, nature will give me another form of existence when the present can no longer sustain my spirit.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If there is confusion in your head and in your heart, what more do you want! A man who no longer loves and no longer errs should have himself buried straight away.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beauty can never really understand itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everyone is deceived in his hopes, cheated in his expectations.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My poor head is in such a whirl, my mind is all in bits.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And I have again observed, my dear friend, in this trifling affair, that misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than even malice and wickedness. At all events, the two latter are of less frequent occurrence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Unlimited activity, of whatever kind, must end in bankruptcy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I could never have known so well how paltry men are, and how little they care for really high aims, if I had not tested them by my scientific researches. Thus I saw that most men only care for science so far as they get a living by it, and that they worship even error when it affords them a subsistence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To have more, you must first be more.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Knowing is not enough we must apply. Willing is not enough we must do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
True works of art contain their own theory and give us the measurement according to which we should judge them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Know'st thou yesterday, its aim and reason? Work'st thou will today for worthier things? Then calmly wait the morrow's hidden season, And fear thou not, what hap soe'er it brings
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The aim of living is life itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
