More quotes by 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
Who longs in solitude to live, Ah! soon his wish will gain: Men hope and love, men get and give, and leave him to his pain.
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
None are so hopelessly enslaved, as those who falsely believe they are free. The truth has been kept from the depth of their minds by masters who rule them with lies. They feed them on falsehoods till wrong looks like right in their eyes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It used to happen, and still happens, to me to take no pleasure in a work of art at the first sight of it, because it is too much for me but if I suspect any merit in it, I try to get at it and then I never fail to make the most gratifying discoveries--to find new qualities in the work itself and new faculties in myself.
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
To like things like, whatever one may ail There is certain help.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
two souls, alas, are housed within my breast, and each will wrestle for the mastery there.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The history of mankind is his character.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One must be something, in order to do something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The rabble also vent their rage in words. [Ger., Es macht das Volk sich auch mit Worten Lust.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
They teach in academies far too many things, and far too much that is useless.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For what one has in black and white, One can carry home in comfort.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
People have a peculiar pleasure in making converts, that is, in causing others to enjoy what they enjoy, thus finding their own likeness represented and reflected back to them.
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
All perishable is but an allegory.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beauty vanishes virtue is lasting.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Mannerism is always longing to have done, and has no true enjoyment in work. A genuine, really great talent, on the other hand, has its greatest happiness in execution.
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
Don't give us your doubts, gives us your certainties, for we have doubts enough of our own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
