There is no opinion, however absurd, which men will not readily embrace as soon as they can be brought to the conviction that it is generally adopted.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Shame on such a morality that ...

Shame on such a morality that is worthy of pariahs, and that fails to recognize the eternal essence that exists in every living thing, and shines forth with inscrutable significance from all eyes that see the sun!

Vedas are the most rewarding and the most elevating book which can be possible in the world.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

There is one respect in which beasts show real wisdom... their quiet, placid enjoyment of the present moment.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Many undoubtedly owe their good fortune to the circumstance that they possess a pleasing smile with which they win hearts. Yet these hearts would do better to beware and to learn from Hamlet's tables that one may smile, and smile, and be a villain.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

The actual life of a thought l...

The actual life of a thought lasts only until it reaches the point of speech...As soon as our thinking has found words it ceases to be sincere...When it begins to exist in others it ceases to live in us, just as the child severs itself from its mother when it enters into its own existence.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

The person who writes for fool...

The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

To attain something desired is...

To attain something desired is to discover how vain it is; and though we live all our lives in expectation of better things, we often at the same time long regretfully for what is past. The present, on the other hand, is regarded as something quite temporary and serving only as the road to our goal. That is why most men discover when they look back on their life that they have the whole time been living ad interim, and are surprised to see that which they let go by so unregarded and unenjoyed was precisely their life

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

[T]he appropriate form of address between man and man ought to be, not monsieur, sir, but fellow sufferer, compagnon de miseres.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

In our early youth we sit before the life that lies ahead of us like children sitting before the curtain in a theatre, in happy and tense anticipation of whatever is going to appear. Luckily we do not know what really will appear.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Life is a language in which certain truths are conveyed to us; if we could learn them in some other way, we should not live.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Life is neither to be wept over nor to be laughed at but to be understood.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Optimism is not only a false b...

Optimism is not only a false but also a pernicious doctrine, for it presents life as a desirable state and man's happiness as its aim and object. Starting from this, everyone then believes he has the most legitimate claim to happiness and enjoyment. If, as usually happens, these do not fall to his lot, he believes that he suffers an injustice, in fact that he misses the whole point of his existence.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

That human life must be some k...

That human life must be some kind of mistake is sufficiently proved by the simple observation that man is a compound of needs which are hard to satisfy; that their satisfaction achieves nothing but a painless condition in which he is only given over to boredom . . .

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

To free a man from error is to...

To free a man from error is to give, not to take away. Knowledge that a thing is false is a truth. Error always does harm; sooner or later it will bring mischief to the man who harbors it.

A sense of humour is the only divine quality of man

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Whether we are in a pleasant o...

Whether we are in a pleasant or a painful state depends, finally, upon the kind of matter that pervades and engrosses our consciousness and what we compare it to - better and we envious and sad, worse and we feel grateful and happy.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

We seldom think of what we hav...

We seldom think of what we have but always of what we lack. Therefore, rather than grateful, we are bitter.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

JedeTrennung gibt einenVorgeschmack desTodesund jedes Wiedersehen einenVorgeschmack der Auferstehung. Every parting is a foretaste of death, and every reunion a foretaste of resurrection.
