More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He only earns his freedom and his life Who takes them every day by storm.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Like the star that shines afar, Without haste and without rest, Let each one wheel with steady sway Round the task that rules the day, And do their best.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Colors are the deeds/ and sufferings of light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As long as you are not aware of the continual law of Die and Be Again, you are merely a vague guest on a dark Earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To have more, you must first be more.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A great scholar is seldom a great philosopher.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Many young painters would never have taken their pencils in hand if they could have felt, known, and understood, early enough, what really produced a master like Raphael.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Words are good, but there is something better. The best cannot be explained by words. The spirit in which we act is the chief matter. Action can only be only understood and represented by the spirit.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world of reason is to be regarded as a great and immortal being, who ceaselessly works out what is necessary, and so makes himself lord also over what is accidental.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Habit is the most imperious of all masters.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing more frightful than an active ignorance. [Ger., Es ist nichts schrecklicher als eine thatige Unwissenheit.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mortal race is far too weak not to grow dizzy on unwonted brights. [Ger., Das sterbliche Geschlecht ist viel zu schwach In ungewohnter Hohe nicht zu schwindeln.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Blood is a juice of rarest quality. [Ger., Blut ist ein ganz beondrer Saft.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Individuality of expression is the beginning and end of all art.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is not enough to have knowledge one must apply it. It is not enough to have wishes one must also accomplish it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is only in misery that we recognize the hand of God leading good men to good.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything factual is, in a sense, theory. The blue of the sky exhibits the basic laws of chromatics. There is no sense in looking for something behind phenomena: they are theory.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are our own devils we drive ourselves out of our Edens.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To the world you might be one person, but to one person, you might be the world. Kindness is the golden chain by which our world is bound together.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
