Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I could never have known so well how paltry men are, and how little they care for really high aims, if I had not tested them by my scientific researches. Thus I saw that most men only care for science so far as they get a living by it, and that they worship even error when it affords them a subsistence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever Nature undertakes, she can only accomplish it in a sequence. She never makes a leap.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Viewed from the summit of reason, all life looks like a malignant disease and the world like a madhouse.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The first and last thing required of genius is the love of truth. [Ger., Das erste und letzte, was vom Genie gefordert wird, ist Wahreits-Liebe.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To rule is easy, to govern difficult.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The coward only threatens when he is safe.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do thine own task, and be therewith content.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ignorant men raise questions that wise men answered a thousand years ago.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
