More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Give me the benefit of your convictions, if you have any but keep your doubts to yourself, for I have enough of my own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Habit is the most imperious of all masters.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves otherwise, we harden.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If we take people only as they are, then we make them worse if we treat them as if they were what they should be, then we bring them to where they can be brought.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A flippant, frivolous man may ridicule others, may controvert them, scorn them but he who has any respect for himself seems to have renounced the right of thinking meanly of others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No prudent antagonist thinks light of his adversaries.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is more disgusting than the majority: because it consists of a few powerful predecessors, of rogues who adapt themselves, of weak who assimilate themselves, and the masses who imitate without knowing at all what they want.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Painting predicates what man wants to see, and what man ought to see, not what he ordinarily sees.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When ideas fail, words come in very handy.
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
The man of understanding finds everything laughable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing will change the fact that I cannot produce the least thing without absolute solitude.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Action has magic, grace and power in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One must not criticize that which is common since it remains always the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
At the end of life thoughts hitherto impossible come to the collected mind, like good spirits which let themselves down from the shining heights of the past.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The little man is still a man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man knows himself only insofar as he knows the world, becoming aware of it if only within himself, and of himself self only within it. Each new subject, well observed, opens up within us a new organ of thought.
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
Help me to discover Thy truth, O Lord, and preserve me from those who have already found it
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
