Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All that is transitory is but a metaphor.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The artist who is not also a craftsman is no good but, alas, most of our artists are nothing else.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Talents are nurtured best in solitude, But character on life's tempestuous seas!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In society every man is taken for what he gives himself out to be but he must give himself out to be something. Better to be slightly disagreeable than altogether insignificant.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Belief is not the beginning of knowledge - it is the end.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One should not search for anything behind the phenomena. They themselves are the message.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are two things children should get from their parents: roots and wings.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Character - in things great and small - is indicated when a man (or person) pursues with sustained follow-through what he feels himself capable of doing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Humans fear reason, but they ought to fear stupidity- for reason can be hard, but stupidity can be fatal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Music is either sacred or secular. The sacred agrees with its dignity, and here has its greatest effect on life, an effect that remains the same through all ages and epochs. Secular music should be cheerful throughout.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To every one [Nature] appears in a form of his own. She hides herself in a thousand names and terms, and is always the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing should be valued higher than the value of the day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
