You will find the most pronounced hatred of other nations on the lowest cultural levels. There is, though, a level where the hatred disappears completely and where one so to speak stands above the nations and where one experiences fortune or misfortune of a neighboring country as if they had happened to one's own.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Know'st thou yesterday, its a...

Know'st thou yesterday, its aim and reason? Work'st thou will today for worthier things? Then calmly wait the morrow's hidden season, And fear thou not, what hap soe'er it brings

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The use of a thing is only a ...

The use of a thing is only a part of its significance. To know anything thoroughly, to have the full command of it in all its appliances, we must study it on its own account, independently of any special application.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The art of governing is a gre...

The art of governing is a great metier, requiring the whole man, and it is therefore not well for a ruler to have too strong tendencies for other affairs.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Mathematicians are like Frenc...

Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whatever you say to them they translate into their own language and forthwith it is something entirely different.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Give me those days with heart...

Give me those days with heart in riot, The depths of bliss that touched on pain, The force of hate, and love's disquiet- Ah, give me back my youth again!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Each ten years of a man's lif...

Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Were the eye not of the sun, How could we behold the light? If God's might and ours were not as one, How could His work enchant our sight?

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Sameness leaves us in peace but it is contradiction that makes us productive.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

People will allow their fault...

People will allow their faults to be shown them; they will let themselves be punished for them; they will patiently endure many things because of them; they only become impatient when they have to lay them aside.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

No wise combatant underestima...

No wise combatant underestimates their antagonist.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Riches amassed in haste will ...

Riches amassed in haste will diminish; but those collected by hand and little by little will multiply.

The eternal female draws us onward.

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.

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

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

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

Love grants in a moment What ...

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

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

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.
