General ideas and great conceit are always a fair way to bring about terrible misfortune.Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #5
A clever man commits no minor blunders.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #6
A dim vastness is spread before our souls; the perceptions of our mind are as obscure as those of our vision... But alas! when we have attained our object, when the distant 'there' becomes the present 'here,' all is changed; we are as poor and circumscribed as ever, and our souls still languish for unattainable happiness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #7
A human being needs only a small plot of ground on which to be happy, and even less to lie beneath.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #8
A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #9
A man's shortcomings are taken from his epoch; his virtues and greatness belong to himself.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #12
Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #13
Age merely shows what children we remain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #14
Ah, gençligimin mabedi o sevgili nerelerde! Kaybolacak idiyse onu ne diye tanidim ben?.. Kendi kendime: Çilginsin! diyorum, artik bulunmasi olanaksiz bir sey ariyorsun!
Ama ben ona, o sevgiliye bir zamanlar sarilmistim. Kalbinin atislarini duymustum. Yüce yaradilisi önünde kendimi benliküstüne yükselmis gibi görürüm. Çünkü onun yaninda ne kadar olabileceksem o kadar sezgili olurdum.
Hey Tanrim! O zaman ruhumun hiçbir yetenegi bosa çikar miydi? Yüregimin tüm evreni kucaklamadaki sasilacak gücü onun önünde bütünüyle kendini ortaya koymaz miydi? Yüregin derinliklerinden yükselen ürpermeler, iki ruhun yüz yüze simseklenmesi aramizda her günün, bir alisverisine benzemez miydi? Ah, onunla her sohbetimiz ve igneli sakalarimiz dahil, her sözümüz inci gibi inceltilmisti, ben bunu bilirim...Asla unutamayacagim, onun ruhunun durulugunu, saglamligini, onun o göksel yumusakligini asla unutamayacagim...Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #15
All force strives forward to work far and wide
To live and grow and ever to expand;
Yet we are checked and thwarted on each side
By the world's flux and swept along like sand:
In this internal storm and outward tide
We hear a promise, hard to understand:
From the compulsion that all creatures binds,
Who overcomes himself, his freedom finds.Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #16
All intelligent thoughts have already been thought; what is necessary is only to try to think them again.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #17
All that is transitory is but a metaphor.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #18
All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #19
All things are only transitory.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #20
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 Quote #21
Ältere Bekanntschaften und Freundschaften haben vor neuen hauptsächlich das voraus, dass man sich einander schon viel verziehen hat.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #22
And while throughout the self same motion
Repeated on forever flows
The thousandfold o er arching ocean
Its strong embrace around all throws
Streams through all things the joy of living
The least star thrilleth fond accord
And all their crowding all their striving
Is endless rest in God the Lord.

GER:
Wenn im Unendlichen dasselbe
Sich wiederholend ewig fließt,
Das tausendfältige Gewölbe
Sich kräftig ineinander schließt,
Strömt Lebenslust aus allen Dingen,
Dem kleinsten wie dem größten Stern
Und alles Drängen, alles Ringen
Ist ewige Ruh in Gott dem Herrn.
Zahme Xenien VI.Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #23
Art is long, life short, judgment difficult, opportunity transient. To act is easy, to think is hard; to act according to our thought is troublesome.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #24
Artists and artisans both demonstrate with perfect clarity that a person is least able to appropriate for himself those things which are most peculiarly his. His works leave him as birds do the best in which they were hatched.
In this respect an architect's fate is the strangest of all. How often he employs his whole intellect and warmth of feeling in the creation of rooms from which he must exclude himself. Royal halls owe their splendor to him, and he may not share in the enjoyment of their finest effects. In temples he draws the line between himself and the holy of holies; the steps he built to ceremonies that lift up the heady, he may no longer climb; just as the goldsmith worships only from afar the monstrance which he wrought in the fire and set with jewels. With the keys of the palace the architect hands over all it's comforts to the wealthy man, and has not the least part in them. Surely in this way art must little by little grow away from the artist, if the work, like a child provided for, no longer teaches back to touch its father.Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #25
As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #26
At the moment of commitment the entire universe conspires to assist you.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #27
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #28
Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #29
Beauty is a primeval phenomenon. It never makes an appearance itself, but is a visible reflection in a thousand different utterances of the creative mind. It is as various as nature herself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quote #30
Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.
