More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Like the star that shines afar, Without haste and without rest, Let each one wheel with steady sway Round the task that rules the day, And do their best.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
This being busied with thoughts of immortality is for the noble classes and especially for women with nothing to do. A solid person, though, someone who already intends to be something worthy here, and who therefore has to strive daily, has to struggle and work, gives the world to come a rest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The eternal female draws us onward.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I wait for the morning of my tears
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The summit charms us, the steps to it do not with the heights before our eyes, we like to linger in the plain. It is only a part of art that can be taught but the artist needs the whole. He who is only half instructed speaks much and is always wrong who knows it wholly is content with acting and speaks seldom or late.
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 solution of every problem is another problem
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The man of understanding finds everything laughable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing in the world more pitiable than an irresolute man, oscillating between two feelings, who would willingly unite the two and who does not perceive that nothing can unite them
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Habit is the most imperious of all masters.
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
Experience is only half of experience.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Look closely at those who patronize you. Half are unfeeling, half untaught.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you lay duties upon people and give them no rights, you must pay them well.
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
Energy will do anything that can be done in the world and no talents, no circumstances, no opportunities will make a two-legged animal a man without it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Men in a state of nature, uncivilized nations, children, have a great fondness for colors in their utmost brightness, and especially for yellow-red.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The person of analytic or critical intellect finds something ridiculous in everything. The person of synthetic or constructive intellect, in almost nothing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
