More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who cannot love must learn to flatter.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
By seeking and blundering we learn.
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
Life teaches us to be less harsh with ourselves and with others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Is not the core of nature in the heart of man?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Look closely at those who patronize you. Half are unfeeling, half untaught.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When translating one must proceed up to the intranslatable only then one becomes aware of the foreign nation and the foreign tongue.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Stupidity is without anxiety.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is one of Heaven's best gifts to hold such a dear creature in one's arms.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It would not be worth your while to reach the age of seventy if all the wisdom of the world were to be foolishness before God.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is no trifling with nature it is always true, grave, and severe it is always in the light, and the faults and errors fall to our share. It defies incompetency, but reveals its secrets to the competent, the truthful, and the pure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than malice and wickedness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Method will teach you to win time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Enjoy what you can, endure what you must.
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
Against great advantages in another, there are no means of defending ourselves except love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No one feels himself easy in a garden which does not look like the open country.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Willing is not enough, we must do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Gray is the color of all theory
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Art is long, life short, judgment difficult, opportunity transient. To act is easy, to think is hard to act according to our thought is troublesome. Every beginning is cheerful: the threshold is the place of expectation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
