More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing will change the fact that I cannot produce the least thing without absolute solitude.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Piety is not an end, but a means: a means of attaining the highest culture by the purest tranquility of soul. Hence it may be observed that those who set up piety as an end and object are mostly hypocrites.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If each one does their duty as an individual and if each one works in their own proper vocation, it will be right with the whole.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
True art can only spring from the intimate linking of the serious and the playful.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Those who hope for no other life are dead even for this.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is part of you, you cannot get rid of, even if you were to throw it away.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is a very hard and troublesome thing to dispose of whole, half, and quarter-mistakes to sift them and assign the portion of truth to its proper place.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The person who in shaky times also wavers only increases the evil, but the person of firm decision fashions the universe.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One glance, one word from you gives more pleasure than all the wisdom of this world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world remains ever the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whenever I hear people talking about liberal ideas, I am always astounded that men should love to fool themselves with empty sounds. An idea should never be liberal it must be vigorous, positive, and without loose ends so that it may fulfill its divine mission and be productive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A wounded heart can with difficulty be cured. [Ger., Doch ein gekranktes Herz erholt sich schwer.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is not always needful for truth to take a definite shape it is enough if it hovers about us like a spirit and produces harmony if it is wafted through the air like the sound of a bell, grave and kindly.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The most original of authors are not so because they advance what is new, but more because they know how to say something, as if it had never been said before.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mortal race is far too weak not to grow dizzy on unwonted brights. [Ger., Das sterbliche Geschlecht ist viel zu schwach In ungewohnter Hohe nicht zu schwindeln.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I wait for the morning of my tears
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The whole history of the Christian Church is a mixture of errors and violence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Collectors are happy people.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As soon as you are in a social setting, you better take away the key to the lock of your heart and pocket it those who leave thekey in the lock are fools.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I've often heard it said a preacher might learn with a comedian for a teacher.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
