Yet he who grasps the moment's gift, He is the proper man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
He who cannot draw on three thousand years is living from hand to mouth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The close and thoughtful observer more and more learns to recognize his limitations. He realizes that with the steady growth of knowledge more and more new problems keep on emerging.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
For I have been a man, and that means to have been a fighter.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The artist may be well advised to keep his work to himself till it is completed, because no one can readily help him or advise him with it... but the scientist is wiser not to withhold a single finding or a single conjecture from publicity.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Whatever you cannot understand, you cannot possess.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
One must be something, in order to do something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Wisdom is only found in truth. [Ger., Die Weisheit ist nur in der Wahrheit.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
A life without love, without the presence of the beloved, is nothing but a mere magic-lantern show. We draw out slide after slide, swiftly tiring of each, and pushing it back to make haste for the next.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The art of governing is a great metier, requiring the whole man, and it is therefore not well for a ruler to have too strong tendencies for other affairs.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Nothing is true, but that which is simple.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Money lost, something lost. Honor lost, much lost. Courage lost, everything lost-better you were never born
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably deceives himself. Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
To like things like, whatever one may ail There is certain help.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Mediocrity has no greater consolation than in the thought that genius is not immortal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
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
Image
Life is the childhood of our immortality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Tolerance should really be only a temporary attitude it must lead to recognition. To tolerate means to offend.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
No matter what one says, you can recognize only those matters that are equal to you. Only rulers who possess extraordinary abilities will recognize and esteem properly extraordinary abilities in their subjects and servants.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The Woman-Soul leadeth us upward and on!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
