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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

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

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

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

Tell me, how do you cope so c...

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

Man is not born to solve the problem of the universe, but to find out what he has to do; and to restrain himself within the limits of his comprehension.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Normally, people believe that, if they hear just words, that these words must lead to some thought.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

When the healthy nature of ma...

When the healthy nature of man acts as a whole, when he feels himself to be in the world as in a great, beautiful, noble, and valued whole, when harmonious ease affords him a pure and free delight, then the universe, if it could experience itself, would exult, as having attained its goal, and admire the climax of its own becoming and essence.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Gifts come from above in thei...

Gifts come from above in their own peculiar forms.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

There is nothing in the world...

There is nothing in the world more pitiable than an irresolute man, oscillating between two feelings, who would willingly unite the two and who does not perceive that nothing can unite them

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Tis Lilith. Who? Adam's first...

Tis Lilith. Who? Adam's first wife is she. Beware the lure within her lovely tresses, The splendid sole adornment of her hair; When she succeeds therewith a youth to snare, Not soon again she frees him from her jesses.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

You must either conquer and r...

You must either conquer and rule or serve and lose, suffer or triumph, be the anvil or the hammer.
