More quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
It is only in the microscope that our life looks so big.
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is most important to allow the brain the full measure of sleep which is required to restore it for sleep is to a man's whole nature what winding up is to a clock.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Religions are like fireflies. They require darkness in order to shine.
Arthur Schopenhauer
There is no more mistaken path to happiness than worldliness, revelry, high life.
Arthur Schopenhauer
I have described religion as the metaphysics of the people.
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is a wise thing to be polite consequently, it is a stupid thing to be rude. To make enemies by unnecessary and willful incivility, is just as insane a proceeding as to set your house on fire. For politeness is like a counter--an avowedly false coin, with which it is foolish to be stingy.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Everything that happens, happens of necessity.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Intellect is invisible to the man who has none.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Rudeness is better than any argument it totally eclipses intellect.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Vedas are the most rewarding and the most elevating book which can be possible in the world.
Arthur Schopenhauer
One can forget everything, everything, only not oneself, one's own being.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The deep pain that is felt at the death of every friendly soul arises from the feeling that there is in every individual something which is inexpressible, peculiar to him alone, and is, therefore, absolutely and irretrievably lost.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Exaggeration of every kind is as essential to journalism as it is to dramatic art, for the object of journalism is to make events go as far as possible.
Arthur Schopenhauer
We see in tragedy the noblest men, after a long conflict and suffering, finally renounce forever all the pleasure of life and the aims till then pursued so keenly, or cheerfully and willingly give up life itself.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The little honesty that exists among authors is discernible in the unconscionable way they misquote from the writings of others.
Arthur Schopenhauer
I've never known any trouble than an hour's reading didn't assuage.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Man shows his character best in trifles.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Honor has not to be won it must only not be lost.
Arthur Schopenhauer
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
Pleasure is never as pleasant as we expected it to be and pain is always more painful. The pain in the world always outweighs the pleasure. If you don't believe it, compare the respective feelings of two animals, one of which is eating the other.
Arthur Schopenhauer
