More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We can always redeem the man who aspires and strives.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred...unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All beginnings are delightful the threshold is the place to pause.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
By seeking and blundering we learn.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
That is the way of youth and life in general: that we do not understand the strategy until after the campaign is over.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever is the object of a saint's hope is the subject of his prayer.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are situations in which hope and fear run together, in which they mutually destroy one another and lose themselves in dull indifference.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The angles even Draw strength from gazing on its glance, Though none its meaning fathom may The world's unwither'd countenance Is bright as at creation's day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Vanity is a desire of personal glory, the wish to be appreciated, honoured, and run after, not because of one's personal qualities, merits, and achievements, but because of one's individual existence. At best, therefore, it is a frivolous beauty whim it befits.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thank God when He lays a burden on thee, and thank Him when He takes it off.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A distracted existence leads us to no goal
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
We're really up against it, we poor women: A bachelor's a hard thing to convert
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What a day it is when we must envy the men in their graves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you've never eaten while crying you don t know what life tastes like.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To know someone here or there with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts expressed That can make life a garden.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Time itself is an element.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The realization of the self is only possible if one is productive, if one can give birth to one's own potentialities.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Not the maker of plans and promises, but rather the one who offers faithful service in small matters. This is the person who is most likely to achieve what is good and lasting.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If I love you, what business is it of yours?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
