But when all is said, the greatest art is to limit and isolate oneself.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

An absent friend gives us friendly company when we are well assured of his happiness.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

I had toward the poetic art a peculiar relation which was only practical after I had cherished in my mind for a long time a subject which possessed me, a model which inspired me, a predecessor who attracted me, until at length, after I had molded it

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

We who didn't inherit politic...

We who didn't inherit political power nor are made to acquire riches like nothing better than that which expands and solidifies the power of the spirit.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

If we could do away with death, we wouldn't object; to do away with capital punishment will be more difficult. Were that to happen, we would reinstate it from time to time.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

And I have again observed, my...

And I have again observed, my dear friend, in this trifling affair, that misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than even malice and wickedness. At all events, the two latter are of less frequent occurrence.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

He who only tastes his error ...

He who only tastes his error will long dwell with it, will take delight in it as in a singular felicity; while he who drains it to the dregs will, if he be not crazy, find it to be what it is.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Excellence is rarely found, more rarely valued.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The mind is found most acute ...

The mind is found most acute and most uneasy in the morning. Uneasiness is, indeed, a species of sagacity - a passive sagacity. Fools are never uneasy.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Such is the frailty of man that even where he makes the truest and most forcible impression in the memory, in the heart of his beloved, there also he must perish.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Let us live in as small a circle as we will, we are either debtors or creditors before we have had time to look around.

Everywhere, we learn only from those whom we love.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Great possessions and great w...

Great possessions and great want of them are both strong temptations.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The thought of death leaves me in perfect peace, for I have a firm conviction that our spirit is a being of indestructible nature; it works on from eternity to eternity, it is like the sun, which though it seems to set to our mortal eyes, does not really set, but shines on perpetually.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

What is now the foliage moving?
Air is still, and hush'd the breeze,
Sultriness, this fullness loving,
Through the thicket, from the trees.
Now the eye at once gleams brightly,
See! the infant band with mirth
Moves and dances nimbly, lightly,
As the morning gave it birth,
Flutt'ring two and two o'er earth.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Oh happy he who still can hop...

Oh happy he who still can hope in our day to breathe the truth while plunged in seas of error! What we don't know is really what we need, and what we know is of no use to us whatever!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

A great deal may be done by s...

A great deal may be done by severity, more by love, but most by clear discernment and impartial justice.
