Yet through delivery orators ...

Yet through delivery orators succeed, I feel that I am far behind indeed.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Should I not be proud, when f...

Should I not be proud, when for twenty years I have had to admit to myself that the great Newton and all the mathematicians and noble calculators along with him were involved in a decisive error with respect to the doctrine of color, and that I among millions was the only one who knew what was right in this great subject of nature?

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

I am amazed to see how delibe...

I am amazed to see how deliberately I have entangled myself step by step. To have seen my position so clearly, and yet to have acted so like a child!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The question "From where does...

The question "From where does the poet get it?" addresses only the what, nobody learns anything about the how when asking that question.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Nature understands no jesting...

Nature understands no jesting. She is always true, always serious, always severe. She is always right, and the errors are always those of man.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

My days are as happy as those...

My days are as happy as those reserved by God for his elect; and whatever be my fate hereafter, I can never say that I have not tasted joy— the purest joy of life.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

A man's shortcomings are take...

A man's shortcomings are taken from his epoch; his virtues and greatness belong to himself.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

In society every man is taken...

In society every man is taken for what he gives himself out to be; but he must give himself out to be something. Better to be slightly disagreeable than altogether insignificant.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Once I blazed across the sky,...

Once I blazed across the sky, Leaving trails of flame; I fell to earth, and here I lie - Who'll help me up again? -A Shooting Star

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

If we take people only as the...

If we take people only as they are, then we make them worse; if we treat them as if they were what they should be, then we bring them to where they can be brought.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

If the whole world I once cou...

If the whole world I once could see On free soil stand, with the people free Then to the moment might I say, Linger awhile. . .so fair thou art.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Generally speaking, an author...

Generally speaking, an author's style is a faithful copy of his mind. If you would write a lucid style, let there first be light in your own mind; and if you would write a grand style, you ought to have a grand character.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Without haste! without rest! ...

Without haste! without rest! Bind the motto to thy breast! Bear it with thee as a spell; Storm or sunshine , guard it well.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Do people conform to the inst...

Do people conform to the instructions of us old ones? Each thinks he must know best about himself, and thus many are lost entirely.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

A plant is like a self-willed...

A plant is like a self-willed man, out of whom we can obtain all which we desire, if we will only treat him his own way.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

I examine my own being, and f...

I examine my own being, and find there a world, but a world rather of imagination and dim desires, than of distinctness and living power. Then everything swims before my senses, and I smile and dream while pursuing my way through the world.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

For many people, one of the m...

For many people, one of the most frustrating aspects of life is not being able to understand other people's behavior.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Those who have no hope for a ...

Those who have no hope for a future life are already dead for the present one.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The greater part of all the m...

The greater part of all the mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The modern age has a false se...

The modern age has a false sense of superiority, because of the great mass of data at its disposal. But the valid criterion of distinction is rather the extent to which man knows how to form and master the material at his command.
