I know of no more beautiful prayer than that which the Hindus of old used in closing: May all that have life be delivered from suffering.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

I constantly saw the false and the bad, and finally the absurd and the senseless, standing in universal admiration and honour.

I am often surprised by the cleverness, and now and again by the stupidity, of my dog; and I have similar experiences with mankind.

For the world is Hell, and men are on the one hand the tormented souls and on the other the devils in it.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

A man who has no mental needs,...

A man who has no mental needs, because his intellect is of the narrow and normal amount, is, in the strict sense of the word, what is called a philistine.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

If a man wants to read good bo...

If a man wants to read good books, he must make a point of avoiding bad ones; for life is short, and time and energy limited.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

The young should early be trained to bear being left alone; for it is a source of happiness and peace of mind.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

There is not much to be got anywhere in the world. It is filled with misery and pain; if a man escapes these, boredeom lies in wait for him at every corner. Nay more; it is evil which generally has the upper hand, and folly that makes the most noise. Fate is cruel and mankind pitiable.

Life is a constant process of dying.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

The vanity of existence is rev...

The vanity of existence is revealed in the whole form existence assumes: in the infiniteness of time and space contrasted with the finiteness of the individual in both; in the fleeting present as the sole form in which actuality exists; in the contingency and relativity of all things; in continual becoming without being; in continual desire without satisfaction; in the continual frustration of striving of which life consists. . . Time is that by virtue of which everything becomes nothingness in our hands and loses all

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

If God made the world, I would...

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

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Every genius is a great child; he gazes out at the world as something strange, a spectacle, and therefore with purely objective interest

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

This world could not have been...

This world could not have been the work of an all-loving being, but that of a devil, who had brought creatures into existence in order to delight in the sight of their sufferings.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

How is it possible that suffer...

How is it possible that suffering that is neither my own nor of my concern should immediately affect me as though it were my own, and with such force that is moves me to action?

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Our life is a loan received fr...

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

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Women remain children all thei...

Women remain children all their lives, for they always see only what is near at hand, cling to the present, take the appearance of a thing for reality, and prefer trifling matters to the most important.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Vengeance taken will often tea...

Vengeance taken will often tear the heart and torment the conscience.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

The best consolation in misfor...

The best consolation in misfortune or affliction of any kind will be the thought of other people who are in a still worse plight than yourself; and this is a form of consolation open to every one. But what an awful fate this means for mankind as a whole! We are like lambs in a field, disporting themselves under the eye of the butcher, who chooses out first one and then another for his prey.

Patriotism is the passion of fools and the most foolish of passions.
