More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A state of true and universal tolerance is best ensured by leaving alone the peculiarities of men and peoples.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One should not search for anything behind the phenomena. They themselves are the message.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The ground that a good man treads is hallowed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
At the end of life thoughts hitherto impossible come to the collected mind, like good spirits which let themselves down from the shining heights of the past.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To live in a great idea means to treat the impossible as though it were possible. It is just the same with a strong character and when an idea and a character meet, things arise which fill the world with wonder for thousands of years.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Woe to him who would ascribe something like reason to Chance, and make a religion of surrendering to it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greatest evil that can befall man is that he should come to think ill of himself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is fruitful alone is true.
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
I am certain that I have been here as I am now a thousand times before, and I hope to return a thousand times.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The trouble is small, the fun is great. [Ger., Die Muh'ist klein, der Spass ist gross.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A person places themselves on a level with the ones they praise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Errors belong to libraries truth, to the human mind.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Correction does much, but encouragement does more. Encouragement after censure is as the sun after a shower.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The one who always strives, That one can be redeemed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Over all the mountain tops is peace. In all treetops you perceive scarcely a breath. The little birds in the forest are silent. Wait then soon, you too, will have peace.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wood burns because it has the proper stuff in it and a man becomes famous because he has the proper stuff in him.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Error is to truth as sleep is to waking. I have observed that one turns, as if refreshed, from error back to truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is equally a mistake to hold one's self too high, or to rate one's self too cheap.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
