All JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE Quotes about “Goals”

“A distracted existence leads us to no goal”
“I respect the man who knows distinctly what he wants.”
“When the healthy nature of man acts as a whole, when he feels himself to be in the world as in a great, beautiful, noble, and valued whole, when harmonious ease affords him a pure and free delight, then the universe, if it could experience itself, would exult, as having attained its goal, and admire the climax of its own becoming and essence.”
“The highest goal that man can achieve is amazement.”
“The greater part of all the mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims.”
“Artists have a double relationship towards nature: they are her master and her slave at the same time. They are her slave in so far as they must work with means of this world so as to be understood; her master in so far as they subject these means to their higher goals and make them subservient to them.”
“Thus one can observe that those who proclaim piety as their goal and purpose usually turn into hypocrites.”
