Tell me, how do you cope so calmly With crazy youth's arrogant way? Indeed, youth would be insufferable, Had I myself not also been insufferable.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

It is not given to us to gras...

It is not given to us to grasp the truth, which is identical with the divine, directly. We perceive it only in reflection, in example and symbol, in singular and related appearances. It meets us as a kind of life which is incomprehensible to us, and yet we cannot free ourselves from the desire to comprehend it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

How many years you have to ke...

How many years you have to keep on doing, until you know what to do and how to do!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The greatest happiness for th...

The greatest happiness for the thinking person is to have explored the explorable and to venerate in equanimity that which cannotbe explored.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The world of empirical morali...

The world of empirical morality consists for the most part of nothing but ill will and envy.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Art is long, life short, judg...

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 2265 quotes

The artist has a twofold rela...

The artist has a twofold relation to nature; he is at once her master and her slave.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Nature! We are enveloped and ...

Nature! We are enveloped and embraced by her, incapable of emerging from her and incapable of entering her more deeply. Unbidden and unwarned, she receives us into the circuits of her dance, drifting onward with us herself, until we grow tired and drop from her arms.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Happy the man who early learn...

Happy the man who early learns the wide chasm that lies between his wishes and his powers.

It is the great triumph of genius to make the common appear novel.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

It is the fortunate who should extol fortune. [Ger., Das Gluck erhebe billig der Begluckte.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

It is natural to man to regar...

It is natural to man to regard himself as the object of the creation, and to think of all things in relation to himself, and the degree in which they can serve and be useful to him.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

It is much easier to meet wit...

It is much easier to meet with error than to find truth; error is on the surface, and can be more easily met with; truth is hid in great depths, the way to seek does not appear to all the world.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The person of analytic or cri...

The person of analytic or critical intellect finds something ridiculous in everything. The person of synthetic or constructive intellect, in almost nothing.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The child, offered the mother...

The child, offered the mother's breast, Will not in the beginning grab it; But soon it clings to it with zest. And thus at wisdom's copious breasts You'll drink each day with greater zest.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Love grants in a moment What toil can hardly achieve in an age. [Ger., In einem Augenblick gewahrt die Liebe Was Muhe kaum in langer Zeit erreicht.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

At all times it has not been ...

At all times it has not been the age, but individuals alone, who have worked for knowledge. It was the age which put Socrates to death by poison, the age which burnt Huss. The ages have always remained alike.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The arts are the salt of the earth; as salt relates to food, the arts relate to technology.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Love has the tendency of pres...

Love has the tendency of pressing together all the lights - all the rays emitted from the beloved object by the burning-glass of fantasy, - into one focus, and making of them one radiant sun without any spots.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

What am I then...? Everything...

What am I then...? Everything that I have seen, heard, and observed I have collected and exploited. My works have been nourished by countless different individuals, by innocent and wise ones, people of intelligence and dunces. Childhood, maturity and old age all have brought me their thoughts....their perspectives on life. I have often reaped what others have sowed. My work is the work of a collective being that bears the name Goethe.
