More quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
Honor means that a man is not exceptional fame, that he is.
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is with trifles, and when he is off guard, that a man best reveals his character.
Arthur Schopenhauer
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.
Arthur Schopenhauer
We seldom speak of what we have but often of what we lack.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Knowledge is to certain extent a second existence.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Poverty and slavery are thus only two forms ofthe same thing, the essence of which is that a man's energies are expended for the most part not on his own behalf but on that of others.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Human life must be some form of mistake.
Arthur Schopenhauer
One can forget everything, everything, only not oneself, one's own being.
Arthur Schopenhauer
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
We should be surprised that a matter that generally plays such an important part in the life of man has hitherto been almost entirely disregarded by philosophers, and lies before us as raw and untreated material.
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
The charlatan takes very different shapes according to circumstances but at bottom he is a man who cares nothing about knowledge for its own sake, and only strives to gain the semblance of it that he may use it for his own personal ends, which are always selfish and material.
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is, indeed, only in old age that intellectual men attain their sublime expression, whilst portraits of them in their youth show only the first traces of it.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Human existence is an error...it is bad today and every day it gets worse, until the worst happens.
Arthur Schopenhauer
...a genuine work of art, can never be false, nor can it be discredited through the lapse of time, for it does not present an opinion but the thing itself.
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
One should use common words to say uncommon things
Arthur Schopenhauer
To forgive and forget means to throw away dearly bought experience.
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is difficult to find happiness within oneself, but it is impossible to find it anywhere else.
Arthur Schopenhauer
There is not a grain of dust, not an atom that can become nothing, yet man believes that death is the annhilation of his being.
Arthur Schopenhauer
