Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.

Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Heart, Sensitive Person, Giving

If we examine every stage of our lives, we find that from our first breath to our last we are under the constraint of circumstances. And yet we still possess the greatest of all freedoms, the power of developing our innermost selves in harmony with the moral order of the universe, and so winning peace of heart whatever obstacles we meet.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Heart, Winning, Self

True observers of nature, although they may think differently, will still agree that everything that is, everything that is observable as a phenomenon, can only exhibit itself in one of two ways. It is either a primal polarity that is able to unify, or it is a primal unity that is able to divide. The operation of nature consists of splitting the united or uniting the divided; this is the eternal movement of systole and diastole of the heartbeat, the inhalation and exhalation of the world in which we live, act, and exist.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Life, Heart, Thinking

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Heart, Heaven, Religion

Continue to make the demands of the day your immediate concern, and take occasion to test the purity of your hearts and the steadfastness of your spirits. When you then take a deep breath and rise above the cares of this world and in an hour of leisure, you will surely win the proper frame of mind to face devoutly what is above us, with reverence, seeing in all events the manifestation of a higher guidance.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Attitude, Heart, Winning

Every day I observe more and more the folly of judging of others by ourselves; and I have so much trouble with myself, and my own heart is in such constant agitation, that I am well content to let others pursue their own course, if they only allow me the same privilege.

It is quite beyond me how anyone can believe God speaks to us in books and stories.

How often do I lull my seething blood to rest, for you have never seen anything so unsteady, so uncertain, as this heart.

Hatred is a heavy burden. It sinks the heart deep in the breast, and lies like a tombstone on all joys.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Tombstone, Lying, Heart

I do not now begin, - I still adore Her whom I early cherish'd in my breast; Then once again with prudence dispossess'd, And to whose heart I'm driven back once more. The love of Petrarch, that all-glorious love, Was unrequited, and, alas, full sad.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
