Image
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
Image
Does not man lack the force at the very point where he needs it most? And when he soars upward in joy, or sinks down in suffering, is not checked in both, is he not returned again to the dull, cold sphere of awareness, just when he was longing to lose himself in the fullness of the infinite.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

No man learns to know his inmost nature by introspection, for he rates himself sometimes too low, and often too high, by his own measurement. Man knows himself only by comparing himself with other men it is life that touches his genuine worth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Divide and rule, a sound motto. Unite and lead, a better one.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
When scholars study a thing, they strive to kill it first, if it's alive then they have the parts and the'be lost the whole, for the link that's missing was the living soul.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Man is not born to solve the problem of the universe, but to find out what he has to do and to restrain himself within the limits of his comprehension.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
There is no past we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternal now that builds and creates out of the past something new and better.
