More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
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
You shall abstain, shall abstain. That is the eternal song.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is in vain that a man of sound mind and cool temper understands the condition of such a wretched being... He can no more communicate his own wisdom to him than a healthy man can instil his strength into the invalid by whose bedside he is seated.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Flowers are the beautiful hieroglyphics of nature with which she indicates how much she loves us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To know someone here or there with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts expressed That can make life a garden.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The best slave is the one who thinks he is free.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Look closely at those who patronize you. Half are unfeeling, half untaught.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To witness two lovers is a spectacle for the gods.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything is both simpler than we can imagine and more entangled than we can conceive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who has a task to perform must know how to take sides, or he is quite unworthy of it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Out of moderation a pure happiness springs.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Passions are defects or virtues in the highest power.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Never by reflection, but only by doing is self- knowledge possible to one.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Method will teach you to win time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are people who make no mistakes because they never wish to do anything worth doing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ah! my poor brain is racked and crazed, My spirit and senses amazed!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I have possessed that heart, that noble soul, in whose presence I seemed to be more than I really was, because I was all that I could be.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Superstition belongs to the essence of mankind and takes refuge, when one thinks one has suppressed it completely, in the strangest nooks and crannies once it is safely ensconced there, it suddenly reappears.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And those whom once my song had cheered and gladdened, If still they live, rove through the world now saddened.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
