More quotes by 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... Man is a dialogue between nature and God. On other planets this dialogue will doubtless be of a higher and profounder character. What is lacking is Self-Knowledge. After that the rest will follow.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Few men have imagination enough for reality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As all Nature's thousands changes But one changeless God proclaim So in Art's wide kingdom ranges One sole meaning still the same: This is Truth, eternal Reason, Which from Beauty takes its dress, And serene through time and season Stands aye in loveliness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If society gives up the right to impose the death penalty, then self-help will appear again and personal vendettas will be around the corner.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A judge who cannot punish, in the end associates themselves with the criminal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is in the half fools and the half wise that the greatest danger lies.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever liberates our spirit, without also giving us mastery over ourselves, is destructive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In comradeship is danger countered best.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences progress in even greater extent and depth, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires: beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels, it will not go.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man may twist as he pleases, and do what he pleases, but he inevitably comes back to the track to which nature has destined him.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is no patriotic art and no patriotic science.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is said that no man is a hero to his valet. That is because a hero can be recognized only by a hero.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All intelligent thoughts have already been thought what is necessary is only to try to think them again.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is the destiny of man, but to fill up the measure of his sufferings, and to drink his allotted cup of bitterness?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Experience is only half of experience.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mind is found most acute and most uneasy in the morning. Uneasiness is, indeed, a species of sagacity - a passive sagacity. Fools are never uneasy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The history of a man is in his character.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man believes himself always greater than he is, and is esteemed less than he is worth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wanted: A dog that neither barks nor bites, eats broken glass and shits diamonds.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
