No wonder we are all more or l...

No wonder we are all more or less pleased with mediocrity, since it leaves us at rest, and gives the same comfortable feeling as when one associates with his equals.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The miller imagines that the c...

The miller imagines that the corn grows only to make his mill turn.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Man cannot persist long in a c...

Man cannot persist long in a conscious state, he must throw himself back into the unconscious, for his root lives there.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Alas, that we should be so unw...

Alas, that we should be so unwilling to listen to the still and holy yearnings of the heart! A god whispers quite softly in our breast, softly yet audibly; telling us what we ought to seek and what to shun.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Reasonable men are the best di...

Reasonable men are the best dictionaries of conversation.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

As to the value of conversions...

As to the value of conversions, God alone can judge. God alone can know how wide are the steps which the soul has to take before it can approach to a community with Him, to the dwelling of the perfect, or to the intercourse and friendship of higher natures.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Every individual who is not cr...

Every individual who is not creative has a negative, narrow, exclusive taste and succeeds in depriving creative being of its energy and life.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

It matters little whether a ma...

It matters little whether a man be mathematically or philologically or artistically cultivated, so he be but cultivated.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

I reverence the individual who...

I reverence the individual who understands distinctly what he wishes; who unweariedly advances, who knows the means conducive to his object, and can seize and use them.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Whatever we think out, whateve...

Whatever we think out, whatever we take in hand to do, should be perfectly and finally finished, that the world, if it must alter, will only have to spoil it; we have then nothing to do but unite the severed, to recollect and restore the dismembered.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

No, no! The devil is an egotis...

No, no! The devil is an egotist,
And is not apt, without why or wherefore,
'For God's sake,' others to assist.
[Ger., Nein, nein! Der Teufel ist ein Egoist
Und thut nicht leicht um Gottes Willen,
Was einem Andern nutzlich ist.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Those who make use of devotion...

Those who make use of devotion as a means and end generally are hypocrites.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

All sects seem to me to be rig...

All sects seem to me to be right in what they assert, and wrong in what they deny.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Duty is the demand of the hour...

Duty is the demand of the hour.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

But what is your duty? What th...

But what is your duty? What the day demands.
[Ger., Was aber ist deine Pflicht? Die Forderung des Tages.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

It is natural to man to regard...

It is natural to man to regard himself as the object of the creation, and to think of all things in relation to himself, and the degree in which they can serve and be useful to him.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

He who only tastes his error w...

He who only tastes his error will long dwell with it, will take delight in it as in a singular felicity; while he who drains it to the dregs will, if he be not crazy, find it to be what it is.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

How happy he who can still hop...

How happy he who can still hope to lift himself from this sea of error! What we know not, that we are anxious to possess, and cannot use what we know.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

It is much easier to meet with...

It is much easier to meet with error than to find truth; error is on the surface, and can be more easily met with; truth is hid in great depths, the way to seek does not appear to all the world.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Faith is a homely, private cap...

Faith is a homely, private capital; as there are public savings-banks and poor funds, out of which in times of want we can relieve the necessities of individuals, so here the faithful take their coin in peace.
