More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man errs, till he has ceased to strive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is the color closest to light. In its utmost purity it always implies the nature of brightness and has a cheerful, serene, gently stimulating character. Hence, experience teaches us that yellow makes a thoroughly warm and comforting impression.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One glance, one word from you gives more pleasure than all the wisdom of this world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
True works of art contain their own theory and give us the measurement according to which we should judge them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is not doing the thing we like to do, but liking the thing we have to do, that makes life blessed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The one who always strives, That one can be redeemed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who has a task to perform must know how to take sides, or he is quite unworthy of it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is now the foliage moving? Air is still, and hush'd the breeze, Sultriness, this fullness loving, Through the thicket, from the trees. Now the eye at once gleams brightly, See! the infant band with mirth Moves and dances nimbly, lightly, As the morning gave it birth, Flutt'ring two and two o'er earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Money lost, something lost. Honor lost, much lost. Courage lost, everything lost-better you were never born
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
So much has already been said about Shakespeare that there doesn't seem to be anything more to say yet it is the quality of the spirit that it forever stimulates the spirit.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thus I reel from desire to fulfillment and in fulfillment languish for desire.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The formation of one's character ought to be everyone's chief aim.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Toleration ought in reality to be merely a transitory mood. It must lead to recognition. To tolerate is to affront.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The little man is still a man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The fine emotions whence our lives we mold Lie in the earthly tumult dumb and cold.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are accustomed to see men deride what they do not understand, and snarl at the good and beautiful because it lies beyond their sympathies
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Method will teach you to win time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Art is constitutive-the artist determines beauty. He does not take it over.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How can one learn to know oneself? Never by introspection, rather by action.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Against great advantages in another, there are no means of defending ourselves except love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
