More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Age does not make us childish, as some say it finds us true children.
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
My peace is gone, my heart is heavy. [Ger., Meine Ruh ist hin, Mein Herz ist schwer.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As soon as you are in a social setting, you better take away the key to the lock of your heart and pocket it those who leave thekey in the lock are fools.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever is the object of a saint's hope is the subject of his prayer.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man, be he who he may, experiences a last piece of good fortune and a last day. [Ger., Der Mensch erfahrt, er sei auch wer er mag, Ein letztes Gluck und einen letzten Tag.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One should not wish anyone disagreeable conditions of life but for him who is involved in them by chance, they are touchstones of characters and of the most decisive value to man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If there is confusion in your head and in your heart, what more do you want! A man who no longer loves and no longer errs should have himself buried straight away.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you want to make life easy, make it hard.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The present moment is a powerful goddess.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The rainbow mirrors human aims and action. Think, and more clearly wilt thou grasp it, seeing Life is but light in many-hued reflection.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Energy will do anything that can be done in this world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We're really up against it, we poor women: A bachelor's a hard thing to convert
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
God could cause us considerable embarrassment by revealing all the secrets of nature to us: we should not know what to do for sheer apathy and boredom.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
So much has already been said about Shakespeare that there doesn't seem to be anything more to say yet it is the quality of the spirit that it forever stimulates the spirit.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We can redeem anyone who strives unceasingly.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
National literature does not mean much these days now is the age of world literature, and every one must contribute to hasten thearrival of that age.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
