Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If in the infinite you want to stride, Just walk in the finite to every side.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In art, the best is good enough.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beauty vanishes virtue is lasting.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hold your powers together for something good and let everything go that is for you without result and is not suited to you.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Who never ate his bread in sorrow, Who never spent the darksome hours Weeping, and watching for the morrow,- He knows you not, ye heavenly Powers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is not given to us to grasp the truth, which is identical with the divine, directly. We perceive it only in reflection, in example and symbol, in singular and related appearances. It meets us as a kind of life which is incomprehensible to us, and yet we cannot free ourselves from the desire to comprehend it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To create something you must be something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What a day it is when we must envy the men in their graves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To think is easy. To act is hard. But the hardest thing in the world is to act in accordance with your thinking.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Truth is a torch, but a huge one, and so it is only with blinking eyes what we all of us try to get past it, in actual terror of being burnt.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The flowers are full of honey, but only the bee finds out the sweetness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The real scholar learns how to evolve the unknown from the known, and draws near the master.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Vanity is a desire of personal glory, the wish to be appreciated, honoured, and run after, not because of one's personal qualities, merits, and achievements, but because of one's individual existence. At best, therefore, it is a frivolous beauty whim it befits.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The close and thoughtful observer more and more learns to recognize his limitations. He realizes that with the steady growth of knowledge more and more new problems keep on emerging.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Errors belong to libraries truth, to the human mind.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Women are silver dishes into which we put golden apples.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who does not stretch himself according to the coverlet finds his feet uncovered.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
People have a peculiar pleasure in making converts, that is, in causing others to enjoy what they enjoy, thus finding their own likeness represented and reflected back to them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you've never eaten while crying you don t know what life tastes like.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
