Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Architecture is frozen music. [Ger., Die Backunst ist eine erstarrte Musik.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man is not born to solve the problem of the universe, but to find out what he has to do and to restrain himself within the limits of his comprehension.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man can only endure a certain degree of unhappiness what is beyond that either annihilates him or passes by him and leaves him apathetic
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Don't say that you want to give, but go ahead and give! You'll never catch up with a mere hope.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who enjoys doing and enjoys what he has done is happy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who longs in solitude to live, Ah! soon his wish will gain: Men hope and love, men get and give, and leave him to his pain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is said, that no one is a hero to their butler. The reason is, that it requires a hero to recognize a hero. The butler, however, will probably know well how to estimate his equals.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Why go further and further, Look, happiness is right here. Learn how to grab hold of luck, For luck is always there.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Time itself is an element.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Manners form the great charm of women.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
