More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Alas! sorrow from happiness is oft evolved.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To make an epoch in the world, two conditions are manifestly essential-a good head and a great inheritance.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Painting predicates what man wants to see, and what man ought to see, not what he ordinarily sees.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Objects in pictures should so be arranged as by their very position to tell their own story.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We must not hope to be mowers, And to gather the ripe gold ears, Unless we have first been sowers And water the furrows with tears. It is not just as we take it, This mystical world of ours, Life's field will yield as we make it A harvest of thorns or of flowers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mortal race is far too weak not to grow dizzy on unwonted brights. [Ger., Das sterbliche Geschlecht ist viel zu schwach In ungewohnter Hohe nicht zu schwindeln.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One must not criticize that which is common since it remains always the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Our virtues and view spring from one root.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred...unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No two men see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will apply in different ways a principle that they both acknowledge.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Only the heart without a stain knows perfect ease. [Ger., Ganz unbefleckt geniesst sich nur das Herz.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I don't know a greater advantage, than to appreciate the worth of an enemy.
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
Everything perfect in its kind has to transcend its own kind, it must become something different and incomparable. In some notes the nightingale is still a bird then it rises above its class and seems to suggest to every winged creature what singing is truly like.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Certain faults are necessary for the existence of the individual. We would resent it if old friends were to get rid of certain peculiarities.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life is the childhood of our immortality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
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
As man is, so is his God. And thus is God oft strangely odd.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
