Thus, the task is not so much to see what no one yet has seen, but to think what nobody yet has thought about that which everybody sees.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

To use many words to communic...

To use many words to communicate few thoughts is everywhere the unmistakable sign of mediocrity. To gather much thought into few words stamps the man of genius.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

What disturbs and depresses y...

What disturbs and depresses young people is the hunt for happiness on the firm assumption that it must be met with in life. From this arises constantly deluded hope and so also dissatisfaction. Deceptive images of a vague happiness hover before us in our dreams, and we search in vain for their original. Much would have been gained if, through timely advice and instruction, young people could have had eradicated from their minds the erroneous notion that the world has a great deal to offer them.

If God made the world, I would not be that God, for the misery of the world would break my heart.

Our life is a loan received from death with sleep as the daily interest on this loan.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

If we suspect that a man is lying, we should pretend to believe him; for then he becomes bold and assured, lies more vigorously, and is unmasked.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud, adopts as a last resource pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and happy to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Without books the development...

Without books the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are the engines of change, windows on the world, "Lighthouses" as the poet said "erected in the sea of time." They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind, Books are humanity in print.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

We will gradually become indifferent to what goes on in the minds of other people when we acquire a knowledge of the superficial nature of their thoughts, the narrowness of their views and of the number of their errors. Whoever attaches a lot of value to the opinions of others pays them too much honor.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

The shortness of life, so often lamented, may be the best thing about it.

Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

What people commonly call Fat...

What people commonly call Fate is, as a general rule, nothing but their own stupid and foolish conduct.

The fruits of Christianity were religious wars, butcheries, crusades, inquisitions, extermination of the natives of America, and the introduction of African slaves in their place.

Honor has not to be won; it must only not be lost.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

If we were not all so interested in ourselves, life would be so uninteresting that none of us would be able to endure it.

The man never feels the want of what it never occurs to him to ask for.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

We can come to look upon the deaths of our enemies with as much regret as we feel for those of our friends, namely, when we miss their existence as witnesses to our success.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Genius and madness have something in common: both live in a world that is different from that which exists for everyone else.

If you want to know your true opinion of someone, watch the effect produced in you by the first sight of a letter from him.

In the sphere of thought, absurdity and perversity remain the masters of the world, and their dominion is suspended only for brief periods.
