Giving is the business of the rich.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

To live within limits. To want...

To live within limits. To want one thing. Or a few things very much and love them dearly. Cling to them, survey them from every angle. Become one with them - that is what makes the poet, the artist, the human being.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

For usually people resist as long as they can to dismiss the fool they harbor in their bosom, they resist to confess a major mistake or to admit a truth that makes them despair.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

New inventions can and will be made; however, nothing new can be thought of that concerns moral man. Everything has already been thought and said which at best we can express in different forms and give new expressions to.

As soon as you are in a social setting, you better take away the key to the lock of your heart and pocket it; those who leave thekey in the lock are fools.

One needs only to get old to become milder; I don't see anyone make a mistake I hadn't also made.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

It doesn't behoove elderly persons to follow fashion in their thinking nor in the way they dress.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

We can most safely achieve truly universal tolerance when we respect that which is characteristic in the individual and in nations, clinging, though, to the conviction that the truly meritorious is unique by belonging to all of mankind.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Tolerance should really be onl...

Tolerance should really be only a temporary attitude; it must lead to recognition. To tolerate means to offend.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

One criticizes the English for carrying their teapots wherever they go, even lugging them up Mount Etna. But doesn't every nationhave its teapot, in which, even when traveling, it brews the dried bundles of herbs brought from home?

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Superstition belongs to the essence of mankind and takes refuge, when one thinks one has suppressed it completely, in the strangest nooks and crannies; once it is safely ensconced there, it suddenly reappears.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

We are pantheists as natural scientists, polytheists as poets, and monotheists as moral beings.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

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

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Very few people love others for what they are; rather, they love what they lend them, their own selves, their own idea of them.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

It is a maxim of wise government to treat people not as they should be but as they actually are.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

If we are out of synch with ourselves, everything is out of synch for us.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

No two people see the world ex...

No two people see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will often apply the same principle, recognized by both, differently. Even one and the same person won't always maintain the same views and judgments: earlier convictions must give way to later ones.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

All one needs to do is declare oneself free and one will immediately feel dependent. If you dare to declare yourself dependent, you feel independent.
