The threshold is the place of expectation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
God made man simple, but how he changed and got complicated is hard to say.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When the healthy nature of man acts as a whole, when he feels himself to be in the world as in a great, beautiful, noble, and valued whole, when harmonious ease affords him a pure and free delight, then the universe, if it could experience itself, would exult, as having attained its goal, and admire the climax of its own becoming and essence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The style of an author is a faithful copy of his mind.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Few people have the imagination for reality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are situations in which hope and fear run together, in which they mutually destroy one another and lose themselves in dull indifference.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One is never deceived one deceives oneself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The art of living rightly is like all arts it must be learned and practiced with incessant care.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Experience is only half of experience.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
New inventions can and will be made however, nothing new can be thought of that concerns moral man. Everything has already been thought and said which at best we can express in different forms and give new expressions to.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To the world you might be one person, but to one person, you might be the world. Kindness is the golden chain by which our world is bound together.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We can stand only a certain amount of unhappiness anything beyond that annihilates us or passes us by, leaving us apathethetic.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The realization of the self is only possible if one is productive, if one can give birth to one's own potentialities.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Several classical sayings that one likes to repeat had quite a different meaning from the ones later times attributed to them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We don't get to know anything but what we love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
