More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hell begins the day that God grants you the vision to see all that you could have done, should have done, and would have done, but did not do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For the nature of women is closely allied to art
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The theater has often been at variance with the pulpit they ought not to quarrel. How much is it to be wished that in both the celebration of nature and of God were intrusted to none but men of noble minds.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Music is either sacred or secular. The sacred agrees with its dignity, and here has its greatest effect on life, an effect that remains the same through all ages and epochs. Secular music should be cheerful throughout.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Kindness is the golden thread that holds society together.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We always hope, and in all things it is better to hope than to despair.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What one has wished for in youth, in old age one has in abundance.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To every one [Nature] appears in a form of his own. She hides herself in a thousand names and terms, and is always the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Energy will do anything that can be done in the world and no talents, no circumstances, no opportunities will make a two-legged animal a man without it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The whole art of living consists in giving up existence in order to exist.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Experience is only half of experience.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If nature is your teacher, your soul will awaken.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Zweck sein selbst ist jegliches Tier. Each animal is an end in itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All that is transitory is but a metaphor.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you've never eaten while crying you don t know what life tastes like.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The use of a thing is only a part of its significance. To know anything thoroughly, to have the full command of it in all its appliances, we must study it on its own account, independently of any special application.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
National literature does not mean much these days now is the age of world literature, and every one must contribute to hasten thearrival of that age.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
