It is only the man whose intellect is clouded by his sexual impulse that could give the name of the fair sex to that undersized, narrow-shouldered, broad-hipped, and short-legged race.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

If I maintain my silence about my secret it is my prisoner...if I let it slip from my tongue, I am ITS prisoner.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

There is in the world only the choice between loneliness and vulgarity. All young people should be taught now to put up with loneliness ... because the less man is compelled to come into contact with others, the better off he is.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

Men best show their character ...

Men best show their character in trifles, where they are not on their guard. It is in the simplest habits, that we often see the boundless egotism which pays no regard to the feelings of others and denies nothing to itself.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

A reproach can only hurt if it hits the mark. Whoever knows that he does not deserve a reproach can treat it with contempt.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

For our improvement we need a mirror.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

Genuine contempt, on the other...

Genuine contempt, on the other hand, is the unsullied conviction of the worthlessness of another.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

Men of learning are those who ...

Men of learning are those who have read the contents of books. Thinkers, geniuses, and those who have enlightened the world and furthered the race of men, are those who have made direct use
of the book of the world.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

It takes place, by and large, ...

It takes place, by and large, with the same sort of necessity as a tree brings forth fruit, and demands of the world no more than a soil on which the individual can flourish.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

It is a clumsy experiment to make; for it involves the destruction of the very consciousness which puts the question and awaits the answer.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

Means at our disposal should b...

Means at our disposal should be regarded as a bulwark against the many evils and misfortunes that can occur. We should not regard such wealth as a permission or even an obligation to
procure for ourselves the pleasures of the world.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

One can forget everything, eve...

One can forget everything, everything, only not oneself, one's own being.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

For what is modesty but hypocr...

For what is modesty but hypocritical humility, by means of which, in a world swelling with vile envy, a man seeks to beg pardon for his excellences and merits from those who have none? For
whoever attributes no merit to himself because he really has none is not modest, but merely honest.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

It is difficult, if not imposs...

It is difficult, if not impossible, to define the limit of our reasonable desires in respect of possessions.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

Descartes is rightly regarded ...

Descartes is rightly regarded as the father of modern philosophy primarily and generally because he helped the faculty of reason to stand on its own feet by teaching men to use their brains
in place whereof the Bible, on the one hand, and Aristotle, on the other, had previously served.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

The animal lacks both anxiety ...

The animal lacks both anxiety and hope because its consciousness is restricted to what is clearly evident and thus to the present moment: the animal is the present incarnate.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

Pride works _from within_; it ...

Pride works _from within_; it is the direct appreciation of oneself. Vanity is the desire to arrive at this appreciation indirectly, from without.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

A man may call to mind the face of his friend, but not his own. Here, then, is an initial difficulty in the way of applying the maxim, Know Thyself.

Arthur Schopenhauer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 702 quotes

Not to go to the theater is like making one's toilet without a mirror.

Man shows his character best in trifles.
