More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who enjoys doing and enjoys what he has done is happy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is worth more than this day. You cannot relive yesterday. Tomorrow is still beyond your reach.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He is the happiest man who can see the connection between the end and the beginning of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If a man or woman is born ten years sooner or later, their whole aspect and performance shall be different.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Someday perhaps the inner light will shine forth from us, and the we'll need no other light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thus one can observe that those who proclaim piety as their goal and purpose usually turn into hypocrites.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As man is, so is his God. And thus is God oft strangely odd.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mediator of the inexpressible is the work of art.
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
Sameness leaves us in peace but it is contradiction that makes us productive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Opponents fancy they refute us when they repeat their own opinion and pay no attention to ours.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is better to be deceived by one's friends than to deceive them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything which is properly business we must keep carefully separate from life. Business requires earnestness and method life must have a freed handling.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Names are but noise and smoke, Obscuring heavenly light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Of all peoples the Greeks have dreamt the dream of life best.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything perfect in its kind has to transcend its own kind, it must become something different and incomparable. In some notes the nightingale is still a bird then it rises above its class and seems to suggest to every winged creature what singing is truly like.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hold your powers together for something good and let everything go that is for you without result and is not suited to you.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
With knowledge comes more doubt.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you've never eaten while crying you don t know what life tastes like.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
