More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For to give is the business of the rich. [Lat., Denn Geben ist Sache des Reichen.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The best slave is the one who thinks he is free.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Certain books seem to be written, not that we might learn from them, but in order that we might see how much the author knows.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Mozart is a human incarnation of the divine force of creation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Of the truly creative no one is ever master it must be left to go its own way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing can be compared to the new life that the discovery of another country provides for a thoughtful person. Although I am still the same I believe to have changed to the bones.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing outside of us that is not at the same time in us, and as the external world has its colors the eye, too, has colors.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
So, lively brisk old fellow, don't let age get you down. White hairs or not, you can still be a lover.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Piety, like nobility, has its aristocracy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man knows himself only insofar as he knows the world, becoming aware of it if only within himself, and of himself self only within it. Each new subject, well observed, opens up within us a new organ of thought.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
That is the way of youth and life in general: that we do not understand the strategy until after the campaign is over.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is better to be deceived by one's friends than to deceive them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Art is constitutive-the artist determines beauty. He does not take it over.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
[Nature's] crown is Love. Only through Love can we come near her. She puts gulfs between all things, and all things strive to be interfused. She isolates everything, that she may draw everything together. With a few draughts from the cup of Love she repays for a life full of trouble.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Character - in things great and small - is indicated when a man (or person) pursues with sustained follow-through what he feels himself capable of doing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Unlimited activity, of whatever kind, must end in bankruptcy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.
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
The field of experience is the whole universe in all directions. Theory remains shut up within the limits of human faculties.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
