More quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
I know of no more beautiful prayer than that which the Hindus of old used in closing: May all that have life be delivered from suffering.
Arthur Schopenhauer
To forgive and forget means to throw away dearly bought experience.
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
If there is anything in the world that can really be called a man's property, it is surely that which is the result of his mental activity.
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
A happy life is impossible the best that a man can attain is a heroic life.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Intellect is invisible to the man who has none.
Arthur Schopenhauer
He who writes carelessly confesses thereby at the very outset that he does not attach much importance to his own thoughts.
Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer
We seldom speak of what we have but often of what we lack.
Arthur Schopenhauer
...nothing at all rides on the life or death of the individual.
Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer
A poet or philosopher should have no fault to find with his age if it only permits him to do his work undisturbed in his own corner nor with his fate if the corner granted him allows of his following his vocation without having to think about other people.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The brain may be regarded as a kind of parasite of the organism, a pensioner, as it were, who dwells with the body.
Arthur Schopenhauer
What a man is: that is to say, personality, in the widest sense of the word under which are included health, strength, beauty, temperament, moral character, intelligence, and education.
Arthur Schopenhauer
A word too much always defeats its purpose.
Arthur Schopenhauer
One man is more concerned with the impression he makes on the rest of mankind, another with the impression the rest of mankind makes on him.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Reading is a mere makeshift for original thinking.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Knowledge is to certain extent a second existence.
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is the courage to make a clean breast of it in the face of every question that makes the philosopher.
Arthur Schopenhauer
