You are caught in the current of unceasing change. Your life is a ripple in it. Every moment of your conscious life links the infinite past with the infinite future. Take part in both and you will not find the present empty.

More quotes by Oswald Spengler
There is no proletarian, not even a Communist movement, that has not operated in the interests of money, and for the time being permitted by money - and that without the idealists among its leaders having the slightest suspicion of the fact.
Oswald Spengler
Christian theology is the grandmother of Bolshevism.
Oswald Spengler
Every Socialist outbreak only blazes new paths for Capitalism.
Oswald Spengler
When the ordinary thought of a highly cultivated people begins to regard 'having children' as a question of pro's and con's, the great turning point has come.
Oswald Spengler
Every action alters the soul of the doer.
Oswald Spengler
The common man wants nothing of life but health, longevity, amusement, comfort-“happiness.” He who does not despise this should turn his eyes from world history, for it contains nothing of the sort. The best that history has created is great suffering.
Oswald Spengler
We have learned that history is something that takes no notice whatever of our expectations.
Oswald Spengler
Through money, democracy becomes its own destroyer, after money has destroyed intellect.
Oswald Spengler
If few can stand a long war without deterioration of soul, none can stand a long peace.
Oswald Spengler
Man makes history woman is history. The reproduction of the species is feminine: it runs steadily and quietly through all species, animal or human, through all short-lived cultures. It is primary, unchanging, everlasting, maternal, plantlike, and cultureless. If we look back we find that it is synonymous with life itself.
Oswald Spengler
If you are clever enough to figure out what men want, you are either too wise to marry them or too intimidating for them to marry you.
Oswald Spengler
The individual's life is of importance to none besides himself: the point is whether he wishes to escape from history or give his life for it. History recks nothing of human logic
Oswald Spengler
The press today is an army with carefully organized weapons, the journalists its officers, the readers its soldiers. The reader neither knows nor is supposed to know the purposes for which he is used and the role he is to play.
Oswald Spengler
Those who talk too much about race no longer have it in them.
Oswald Spengler
One does not reflect on a point of honor - that is already dishonor. To submit to insult, to forget a humiliation, to quail before an enemy - all these are signs of a life become worthless and superfluous.
Oswald Spengler
Socialism is nothing but the capitalism of the lower classes.
Oswald Spengler
When three liberals get together they form a new party that is their idea of individualism. They never join a bowling club without introducing as part of the 'agenda' an 'amendment of the statutes.
Oswald Spengler
All world-improvers are Socialists. And consequently there are no Classical world-improvers.
Oswald Spengler
Pacifism will remain an ideal, war a fact, and if the White race decides to wage it no longer, the dark ones will, and will become the masters of the world.
Oswald Spengler
When the Englishman speaks of national wealth he means the number of millionaires in the country.
