The dignity of art probably appears most eminently with music since it does not have any material that needs to be discounted. Music is all form and content and elevates and ennobles everything that it expresses.

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.

Let us live, while we are alive!

We rather confess our moral errors, faults, and crimes than our ignorance.

In praising or loving a child, we love and praise not that which is, but that which we hope for.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

For a brave man deserves a well-endowed girl. [Ger., Denn ein wackerer Mann verdient ein begutertes Madchen.]

Thus one can observe that those who proclaim piety as their goal and purpose usually turn into hypocrites.

What is the universal? The single case. What is the particular? Millions of cases.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

As a man is, so is his God; therefore God was so often an object of mockery. [Ger., Wie einer ist, so ist sein Gott, Darum ward Gott so oft zu Spott.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

As for what I have done as a ...

As for what I have done as a poet, I take no pride in whatever. Excellent poets have lived at the same time with me, poets more excellent lived before me, and others will come after me. But that in my country I am the only person who knows the truth in the difficult science of colors-of that, I say, I am not a little proud, and here have a consciousness of superiority to many.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Beloved brother, let us not f...

Beloved brother, let us not forget that man can never get away from himself. [Ger., Lass uns, geliebter Bruder, nicht vergessen, Dass von sich selbst der Mensch nicht scheiden kann.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

No, no! The devil is an egotist, And is not apt, without why or wherefore, "For God's sake," others to assist. [Ger., Nein, nein! Der Teufel ist ein Egoist Und thut nicht leicht um Gottes Willen, Was einem Andern nutzlich ist.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Errors belong to libraries; truth, to the human mind.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Without my attempts in natural science, I should never have learned to know mankind such as it is. In nothing else can we so closely approach pure contemplation and thought, so closely observe the errors of the senses and of the understanding, the weak and strong points of character.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

You acquire a language most readily in the country where it is spoken; you study mineralogy best among miners; and so with everything else.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Assuredly there is no more lo...

Assuredly there is no more lovely worship of God than that for which no image is required, but which springs up in our breast spontaneously when nature speaks to the soul, and the soul speaks to nature face to face.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Whether one show one's self a...

Whether one show one's self a man of genius in science or compose a song, the only point is, whether the thought, the discovery, the deed, is living and can live on.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Who never ate his bread in sorrow, Who never spent the darksome hours Weeping, and watching for the morrow,- He knows you not, ye heavenly Powers.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

If the world does improve on the whole, yet youth must always begin anew, and go through the stages of culture from the beginning.

two souls, alas, are housed within my breast, and each will wrestle for the mastery there.
