More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.
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
It is belief in the Bible, the fruits of deep meditation, which has served me as the guide of my moral and literary life. I have found capital safely invested and richly productive of interest, although I have sometimes made but a bad use of it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is no greater consolation for mediocrity than that the genius is not immortal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Faust: Who holds the devil, let him hold him well, He hardly will be caught a second time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In society every man is taken for what he gives himself out to be but he must give himself out to be something. Better to be slightly disagreeable than altogether insignificant.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beauty can never really understand itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The older we get the more we must limit ourselves if we wish to be active.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To rule is easy, to govern difficult.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A judge who cannot punish, in the end associates themselves with the criminal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are two things children should get from their parents: roots and wings.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Blood is a juice of rarest quality. [Ger., Blut ist ein ganz beondrer Saft.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Know'st thou yesterday, its aim and reason? Work'st thou will today for worthier things? Then calmly wait the morrow's hidden season, And fear thou not, what hap soe'er it brings
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Give me the benefit of your convictions, if you have any but keep your doubts to yourself, for I have enough of my own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The day is of infinite length for him who knows how to appreciate and use it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Names are but noise and smoke, Obscuring heavenly light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Why go further and further, Look, happiness is right here. Learn how to grab hold of luck, For luck is always there.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
