More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I could never have known so well how paltry men are, and how little they care for really high aims, if I had not tested them by my scientific researches. Thus I saw that most men only care for science so far as they get a living by it, and that they worship even error when it affords them a subsistence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Three things are to be looked to in a building: that it stand on the right spot that it is securely founded that it be successfully executed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When you lose interest in anything, you also lose the memory for it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I wish the crowd to feel itself well treated, Especially since it lives and lets me live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The ground that a good man treads is hallowed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man does not mind being blamed for his faults, and being punished for them, and he patiently suffers much for them but he becomes impatient if he is required to give them up.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beauty vanishes virtue is lasting.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All theory, dear friend, is gray, but the golden tree of life springs ever green.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Literature is a fragment of a fragment. Of all that ever happened, or has been said, but a fraction has been written and of this but little is extant.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
People may live as much retired from the world as they please but sooner or later, before they are aware, they will find themselves debtor or creditor to somebody.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In art, to express the infinite one should suggest infinitely more than is expressed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever Nature undertakes, she can only accomplish it in a sequence. She never makes a leap.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The style of an author is a faithful copy of his mind.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is sometimes essential for a husband and a wife to quarrel - they get to know each other better.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world of reason is to be regarded as a great and immortal being, who ceaselessly works out what is necessary, and so makes himself lord also over what is accidental.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Aptitudes are assumed, they should become accomplishments. That is the purpose of all education.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
