More quotes by 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
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
Vedas are the most rewarding and the most elevating book which can be possible in the world.
Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer
To be alone is the fate of all great minds—a fate deplored at times, but still always chosen as the less grievous of two evils.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The effect of music is so very much more powerful and penetrating than is that of the other arts, for these others speak only of the shadow, but music of the essence.

Arthur Schopenhauer
If children were brought into the world by an act of pure reason alone, would the human race continue to exist? Would not a man rather have so much sympathy with the coming generation as to spare it the burden of existence, or at any rate not take it upon himself to impose that burden upon it in cold blood?
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is with trifles, and when he is off guard, that a man best reveals his character.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Human life must be some form of mistake.
Arthur Schopenhauer
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
A man must have grown old and lived long in order to see how short life is.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Patriotism is the passion of fools and the most foolish of passions.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Honour is external conscience, and conscience is inward honour.
Arthur Schopenhauer
In early youth, as we contemplate our coming life, we are like children in a theatre before the curtain is raised, sitting there in high spirits and eagerly waiting for the play to begin.
Arthur Schopenhauer
For our improvement we need a mirror.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Whatever torch we kindle, and whatever space it may illuminate, our horizon will always remain encircled by the depth of night.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other.
Arthur Schopenhauer
A sense of humour is the only divine quality of man
Arthur Schopenhauer
