Rest not Life is sweeping by go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Would you require a wretched ...

Would you require a wretched being, whose life is slowly wasting under a lingering disease, to despatch himself at once by the stroke of a dagger? Does not the very disorder which consumes his strength deprive him of the courage to effect his deliverance?

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

I nothing had, and yet enough...

I nothing had, and yet enough for youth--Joy in Illusion, ardent thirst for Truth. Give unrestrained, the old emotion, The bliss that touched the verge of pain, The strength of Hate, Love's deep devotion,--O, give me back my youth again!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

It is in vain that a man of s...

It is in vain that a man of sound mind and cool temper understands the condition of such a wretched being... He can no more communicate his own wisdom to him than a healthy man can instil his strength into the invalid by whose bedside he is seated.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Mastery is proven only in limitation, and law alone can give us freedom.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Don't feel guilty if you don'...

Don't feel guilty if you don't immediately love your stepchildren as you do your own, or as much as you think you should. Everyoneneeds time to adjust to the new family, adults included. There is no such thing as an "instant parent." Actually, no concrete object lies outside of the poetic sphere as long as the poet knows how to use the object properly.

To a valet no man is a hero. [Ger., Es gibt fur den Kammerdiener keiner Helden.]

What sort of faults may we retain, nay, even cherish in ourselves? Those faults which are rather pleasant than offensive to others.

When toward the Devil's Hose ...

When toward the Devil's Hose we tread, Woman's a thousand steps behind. [Ger., Denn geht es zu des Bosen Haus Das Weib hat tausend Schritt voraus.]

I believe in God and in nature and in the triumph of good over evil.

All sects seem to me to be right in what they assert, and wrong in what they deny.

What reason would grope for in vain, spontaneous impulse ofttimes achieves at a stroke, with light and pleasureful guidance.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

It is a mistake for a taciturn, serious-minded woman to marry a jovial man, but not for a serious-minded man to marry a lighthearted woman.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

There is nothing by which men...

There is nothing by which men display their character so much as in what they consider ridiculous... Fools and sensible men are equally innocuous. It is in the half fools and the half wise that the great danger lies.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

I have, alas! Philosophy, Medicine, Jurisprudence too, And to my cost Theology, With ardent labor, studied through. And here I stand, with all my lore, Poor fool, no wiser than before.

The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Courage and modesty are the m...

Courage and modesty are the most unequivocal of virtues, for they are of a kind that hypocrisy cannot imitate; they too have this quality in common, that they are expressed by the same color.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Never let a day pass without looking at some perfect work of art, hearing some great piece of music and reading, in part, some great book.

Few men have imagination enough for reality.
