Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The people rate strength before everything.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
True art can only spring from the intimate linking of the serious and the playful.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A purpose you impart is no longer your own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every idea appears at first as a strange visitor, and when it begins to be realized, it is hardly distinguishable from fantasy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life seems so vulgar, so easily content with the commonplace things of every day, and yet it always nurses and cherishes certain higher claims in secret, and looks about for the means of satisfying them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
God could cause us considerable embarrassment by revealing all the secrets of nature to us: we should not know what to do for sheer apathy and boredom.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A wife is a gift bestowed upon a man to reconcile him to the loss of paradise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
That which thy fathers have bequeathed to thee, earn it anew if thou wouldst possess it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In the colored reflection we have Life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One should not search for anything behind the phenomena. They themselves are the message.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Science arose from poetry... when times change the two can meet again on a higher level as friends.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Reason can never be popular. Passions and feelings may become popular, but reason will always remain the sole property of a few eminent individuals.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What a mighty spirit in a narrow bosom. [Ger., Welch' hoher Geist in einer engen Brust.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We blame equally him who is too proud to put a proper value on his own merit and him who prizes too highly his spurious worth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever liberates our spirit, without also giving us mastery over ourselves, is destructive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.
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
Nothing is worth more than this day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
