The artist who is not also a craftsman is no good; but, alas, most of our artists are nothing else.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Miracle is the pet child of faith.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

No one can take from us the j...

No one can take from us the joy of the first becoming aware of something, the so-called discovery. But if we also demand the honor, it can be utterly spoiled for us, for we are usually not the first. What does discovery mean, and who can say that he has discovered this or that? After all it's pure idiocy to brag about priority; for it's simply unconscious conceit, not to admit frankly that one is a plagiarist.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The beginning of faith is the beginning of fruitfulness; but the beginning of unbelief, however glittering, is empty.

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

Man supposes that he directs ...

Man supposes that he directs his life and governs his actions, when his existence is irretrievably under the control of destiny

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

It is quite beyond me how anyone can believe God speaks to us in books and stories. If the world does not directly reveal to us our relationship to it, if our hearts fail to tell us what we owe ourselves and others, we shall assuredly not learn it from books, which are at best designed but to give names to our errors.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

We all walk in mysteries. We ...

We all walk in mysteries. We are surrounded by an atmosphere about which we still know nothing at all.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

What government is the best? ...

What government is the best? That which teaches us to govern ourselves. [Ger., Welche Regierung die beste sei? Diejenige die uns lehrt uns selbst zu regieren.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

To tremble before anticipated evils is to bemoan what thou hast never lost.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Art is based on a strong sentiment of religion,--on a profound and mighty earnestness; hence it is so prone to co-operate with religion.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Stones are mute teachers; the...

Stones are mute teachers; they silence the observer, and the most valuable lesson we learn from them we cannot communicate.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

All men would be masters of others, and no man is lord of himself.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Viewed from the summit of reason, all life looks like a malignant disease and the world like a madhouse.

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

A talent can be cultivated in tranquility; a character only in the rushing stream of life.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

We always hope, and in all things it is better to hope than to despair.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Character - in things great and small - is indicated when a man (or person) pursues with sustained follow-through what he feels himself capable of doing.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Tolerance should, strictly speaking, be only a passing mood; it ought to lead to acknowledgment and appreciation. To tolerate a person is to affront him.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

It is the color closest to light. In its utmost purity it always implies the nature of brightness and has a cheerful, serene, gently stimulating character. Hence, experience teaches us that yellow makes a thoroughly warm and comforting impression.
