More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is no patriotic art and no patriotic science.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The flowers are full of honey, but only the bee finds out the sweetness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One is never satisfied with a portrait of persons whom one knows. That is why I have always pitied portraitists. One demands so seldom of others the impossible, but demands just that of the portraitists.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let there be truth between us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Still this planet's soil for noble deeds grants scope abounding.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Be always resolute with the present hour. Every moment is of infinite value.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Dispel not, the happy delusions of children.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Old age is never honored among us, but only indulged, as childhood is and old men lose one of the most precious rights of man,--that of being judged by their peers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Daily life is more instructive than the most effective book.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are situations in which hope and fear run together, in which they mutually destroy one another and lose themselves in dull indifference.
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
The world is so full of simpletons and madmen, that one need not seek them in a madhouse.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is fruitful alone is true.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is a great error to take oneself for more than one is, or for less than one is worth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I wait for the morning of my tears
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thou tremblest before anticipated ills, and still bemoanest what thou never losest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You'll never attain it unless you know the feeling.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I have found among my papers a sheet . . . in which I call architecture frozen music.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Alas, that we should be so unwilling to listen to the still and holy yearnings of the heart! A god whispers quite softly in our breast, softly yet audibly telling us what we ought to seek and what to shun.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Kindness is the golden thread that holds society together.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
