There is no permanence in doubt; it incites the mind to closer inquiry and experiment, from which, if rightly managed, certainty proceeds, and in this alone can man find thorough satisfaction.

Poor fool! in whose petty estimation all things are little.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The world is for thousands a ...

The world is for thousands a freak show; the images flicker past and vanish; the impressions remain flat and unconnected in the soul. Thus they are easily led by the opinions of others, are content to let their impressions be shuffled and rearranged and evaluated differently.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Insofar as he makes use of hi...

Insofar as he makes use of his healthy senses, man himself is the best and most exact scientific instrument possible. The greatest misfortune of modern physics is that its experiments have been set apart from man, as it were, physics refuses to recognize nature in anything not shown by artificial instruments, and even uses this as a measure of its accomplishments.

Cursed Mammon be, when he with treasures To restless action spurs our fate! Cursed when for soft, indulgent leisures, He lays for us the pillows straight.

Are we not also married to conscience which we would love to get rid of often enough since it is more bothersome than a man or a woman ever could become?

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

No matter what one says, you ...

No matter what one says, you can recognize only those matters that are equal to you. Only rulers who possess extraordinary abilities will recognize and esteem properly extraordinary abilities in their subjects and servants.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

For usually people resist as long as they can to dismiss the fool they harbor in their bosom, they resist to confess a major mistake or to admit a truth that makes them despair.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Oh God, how do the world and heavens confine themselves, when our hearts tremble in their own barriers!

At bottom, no real object is unpoetical, if the poet knows how to use it properly.

What you have inherited from your fathers, earn over again for yourselves, or it will not be yours.

Certain faults are necessary for the existence of the individual. We would resent it if old friends were to get rid of certain peculiarities.

Thou must (in commanding and winning, or serving and losing, suffering or triumphing) be either anvil or hammer.

How many kings are governed by their ministers, how many ministers by their secretaries? Who, in such cases, is really the chief?

In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.
