If you lay duties upon people...

If you lay duties upon people and give them no rights, you must pay them well.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

A man avails himself of the t...

A man avails himself of the truth so long as it is serviceable; but he seizes on what is false with a passionate eloquence as soon as he can make a momentary use of it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Nature! We are surrounded by ...

Nature! We are surrounded by her and locked in her clasp: powerless to leave her, and powerless to come closer to her. Unasked and unwarned she takes us up into the whirl of her dance, and hurries on with us till we are weary and fall from her arms.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

There is no greater consolati...

There is no greater consolation for mediocrity than that the genius is not immortal.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The useful may be trusted to ...

The useful may be trusted to further itself, for many produce it and no one can do without it; but the beautiful must be specially encouraged, for few can present it, while yet all have need of it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

He who would reproach an auth...

He who would reproach an author for obscurity should look into his own mind to see whether it is quite clear there. In the dusk the plainest writing is illegible.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

We find from experience that ...

We find from experience that yellow excites a warm and agreeable impression.... The eye is gladdened, the heart expanded and cheered, a glow seems at once to breathe toward us.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Lay hold of life with both ha...

Lay hold of life with both hands, whenever thou mayest seize it, it is interesting.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

I come more and more to the c...

I come more and more to the conclusion that one must take the side of the minority which is always the more intelligent one.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

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 y...

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.
