More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Love can do much, but duty more.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Shakespeare is dangerous to young poets they cannot but reproduce him, while they fancy that they produce themselves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Strike the dog dead, it's but a critic!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Truth has to be repeated constantly, because Error also is being preached all the time, and not just by a few, but by the multitude. In the Press and Encyclopaedias, in Schools and Universities, everywhere Error holds sway, feeling happy and comfortable in the knowledge of having Majority on its side.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences progress in even greater extent and depth, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires: beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels, it will not go.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ye great teachers: listen to what you say!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Lamps make oil-spots and candles need snuffing it is only the light of heaven that shines pure and leaves no stain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Each one of us must carry within the proof of immortality, it cannot be given from outside of us. To be sure, everything in natureis change but behind the change there is something eternal.
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
Truth is a torch, but a terrific one therefore we all try to reach it with closed eyes, lest we should be scorched.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I let everyone follow his own bent, that I may be free to follow mine.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We cannot and must not get rid of nor deny our characteristics. But we can give them shape and direction.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life seems so vulgar, so easily content with the commonplace things of every day, and yet it always nurses and cherishes certain higher claims in secret, and looks about for the means of satisfying them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Still this planet's soil for noble deeds grants scope abounding.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Writing history is a method of getting rid of the past.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One is led astray alike by sympathy and coldness, by praise and by blame
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No prudent antagonist thinks light of his adversaries.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The iron hand of necessity commands, and her stern decree is supreme law, to which the gods even must submit. In deep silence rules the uncounselled sister of eternal fate. Whatever she lays upon thee, endure perform whatever she commands.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every bird has its decoy, and every man is led and misled in his own peculiar way.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
