Beware of a man of one book. ...

Beware of a man of one book.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Our destiny often looks like ...

Our destiny often looks like a fruit-tree in winter. Who would think from its pitiable aspect that those rigid boughs, those rough twigs could next spring again be green, bloom, and even bear fruit? Yet we hope it, we know it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

All truly wise thoughts have ...

All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, until they take root in our personal experience.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

He is the happiest man who ca...

He is the happiest man who can see the connection between the end and the beginning of life.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

No doubt you are right... the...

No doubt you are right... there would be far less suffering amongst mankind if men... did not employ their imaginations so assiduously in recalling the memory of past sorrow, instead of bearing their present lot with equanimity.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Quite often, as life goes on,...

Quite often, as life goes on, when we feel completely secure as we go on our way, we suddenly notice that we are trapped in error, that we have allowed ourselves to be taken in by individuals, by objects, have dreamt up an affinity with them which immediately vanishes before our waking eye; and yet we cannot tear ourselves away, held fast by some power that seems incomprehensible to us. Sometimes, however, we become fully aware and realize that error as well as truth can move and spur us on to action.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Man... knows only when he is ...

Man... knows only when he is satisfied and when he suffers, and only his sufferings and his satisfactions instruct him concerning himself, teach him what to seek and what to avoid. For the rest, man is a confused creature; he knows not whence he comes or whither he goes, he knows little of the world, and above all, he knows little of himself.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Misunderstandings and neglect...

Misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than malice and wickedness.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

To think is easy. To act is hard. But the hardest thing in the world is to act in accordance with your thinking.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Every reader, if he has a str...

Every reader, if he has a strong mind, reads himself into the book, and amalgamates his thoughts with those of the author.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

In all our academies we attem...

In all our academies we attempt far too much. ... In earlier times lectures were delivered upon chemistry and botany as branches of medicine, and the medical student learned enough of them. Now, however, chemistry and botany are become sciences of themselves, incapable of comprehension by a hasty survey, and each demanding the study of a whole life, yet we expect the medical student to understand them. He who is prudent, accordingly declines all distracting claims upon his time, and limits himself to a single branch and becomes expert in one thing.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Reason can never be popular. ...

Reason can never be popular. Passions and feelings may become popular, but reason will always remain the sole property of a few eminent individuals.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

When you are in conflict with...

When you are in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude. We don't get to know people when they come to us; we must go to them to find out what they are like.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Boldness has power, magic and...

Boldness has power, magic and genius in it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

A man's foibles are what makes him lovable.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

We can really respect a man only if he doesn't always look out for himself.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Hast du einen Menschen gern, s...

Hast du einen Menschen gern, so musst du ihn versteh'n. Musst nicht immer hier und da, seine Fehler seh'n. Schau mit Liebe und Verzeih', denn am Ende bist du selbst nicht fehlerfrei.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Wo Recht zu Unrecht wird, wird Widerstand zur Pflicht.

Wer Tiere quält, ist unbeseelt und Gottes guter Geist ihm fehlt, mag noch so vornehm drein er schaun, man sollte niemals ihm vertraun.

Gerne der Zeiten gedenk' ich, da alle Glieder gelenkig - bis auf eins. Doch die Zeiten sind vorüber, steif geworden alle Glieder - bis auf eins.'
