A man must cling to the belie...

A man must cling to the belief that the incomprehensible is comprehensible; otherwise he would not try to fathom it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Deny yourself! You must deny ...

Deny yourself! You must deny yourself! That is the song that never ends.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The most foolish of all error...

The most foolish of all errors is for clever young men to believe that they forfeit their originality in recognizing a truth which has already been recognized by others.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

I always had an aversion to your apostles of freedom; each but sought for himself freedom to do what he liked.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

A mathematician is only perfe...

A mathematician is only perfect insofar as he is a perfect man, sensitive to the beauty of truth.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Secrecy has many advantages, ...

Secrecy has many advantages, for when you tell someone the purpose of any object right away, they often think there is nothing to it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Properly speaking, we learn f...

Properly speaking, we learn from those books only that we cannot judge. The author of a book that I am competent to criticise would have to learn from me.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Enjoy what thou has inherited...

Enjoy what thou has inherited from thy sires if thou wouldn't really possess it. What we employ and use is never an oppressive burden; what the moment brings forth, that only can it profit by.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

If each one does their duty a...

If each one does their duty as an individual and if each one works in their own proper vocation, it will be right with the whole.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

It used to happen, and still ...

It used to happen, and still happens, to me to take no pleasure in a work of art at the first sight of it, because it is too much for me; but if I suspect any merit in it, I try to get at it; and then I never fail to make the most gratifying discoveries--to find new qualities in the work itself and new faculties in myself.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The longer I live, the more i...

The longer I live, the more it grieves me to see man, who occupies his supreme place for the very purpose of imposing his will upon nature, and freeing himself and his from an outrageous necessity--to see him taken up with some false notion, and doing just the opposite of what he wants to do; and then, because the whole bent of his mind is spoilt, bungling miserably over everything.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

It is as certain as it is str...

It is as certain as it is strange that truth and error come from one and the same source. Thus it is that we are often not at liberty to do violence to error, because at the same time we do violence to truth.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Everything that we call Inven...

Everything that we call Invention or Discovery in the higher sense of the word is the serious exercise and activity of an original feeling for truth, which, after a long course of silent cultivation, suddenly flashes out into fruitful knowledge.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

There is nothing worth thinki...

There is nothing worth thinking but it has been thought before; we must only try to think it again.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Lose this day loitering 'Twil...

Lose this day loitering 'Twill be the same old story, Tomorrow and the next, Even more dilatory. Whatever you would do, Or dream of doing, begin it! Boldness has power, genius, and magic in it. Begin it now.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The theater has often been at...

The theater has often been at variance with the pulpit; they ought not to quarrel. How much is it to be wished that in both the celebration of nature and of God were intrusted to none but men of noble minds.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

A man who is ignorant of fore...

A man who is ignorant of foreign languages is also ignorant of his own language.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

I can promise to be upright, ...

I can promise to be upright, but not to be without bias. [Ger., Aufrichtig zu sein kann ich versprechen; unparteiisch zu sein aber nicht.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Who enslaves another's manhoo...

Who enslaves another's manhood with weak human power alone, Lays a heavier yoke of bondage thoughtlessly upon his own.

Even dirt glitters when the sun is shining upon it
